In a report on Middle Eastern economies released on November 13, the IMF projected that U.S. sanctions will push Iran&#039;s economic output down by 1.5 percent this year, with its recession deepening into a 3.6 percent contraction next year. &quot;This largely reflects the expected impact of the reimposition of U.S. sanctions on Iran, which is likely to reduce Iranian oil production and exports significantly over the next two years at least,&quot; the IMF said. US Targets Hezbollah Iraq Network with New Sanctions The US Treasury expanded its attack on Hezbollah&#039;s financial network Tuesday, hitting key representatives of the Lebanese militant group in Iraq with sanctions. The Treasury blacklisted Shibl Muhsin &#039;Ubayd Al-Zaydi, Yusuf Hashim, Adnan Hussein Kawtharani, and Muhammad &#039;Abd-Al-Hadi Farhat under its Specially Designated Global Terrorists program, saying they moved money, acquired weapons and trained fighters in Iraq for the group. Among the four, Al-Zaydi was a key coordinator between Hezbollah, Iran&#039;s blacklisted Revolutionary Guards, and their supporters in Iraq, the Treasury said. He is close to alleged Hezbollah financier Adham Tabaja, and coordinated smuggling oil from Iran into Syria. He also sent Iraqi fighters to Syria allegedly on behalf of the Revolutionary Guard, the Treasury said. The other three were also involved in collecting intelligence and moving money for Hezbollah in Iraq, it said. US Security Chief Bolton Vows to &#039;Squeeze&#039; Iran US National Security Advisor John Bolton vowed Tuesday to &quot;squeeze&quot; Iran &quot;until the pips squeak&quot;, a week after a tough new round of sanctions came into force. Speaking in Singapore ahead of a summit, Bolton said: &quot;We think the government is under real pressure and it&#039;s our intention to squeeze them very hard. &quot;As the British say, squeeze them until the pips squeak. &quot;We are also going to significantly increase the enforcement of sanctions.&quot; Iran: Teachers&#039; Nationwide Strike in Protest to the Dire Livelihood Conditions From Tuesday morning, November 13, noble teachers refused to attend school classes and went to sit-ins in schools. The strike comes at a time when the repressive forces tried to intimidate them after the nationwide sit-in of last month by arresting and summoning teachers and issuing various threats. Teachers have gone to strike to protest against the suppression and imprisonment of teachers, the deteriorating situation of livelihoods, the uncontrolled inflation and the decline in purchasing power, and are calling for elimination of discrimination against working and retired educators. Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, saluted the teachers and educators who have gone to sit-ins in order to secure their rights, and called on the frustrated public, especially the youth, to express solidarity with them, saying: &quot;Anti-cultural and anti-Iranian dictatorship of the mullahs has destroyed culture and education. The catastrophic situation of working and retired teachers is a product of the plundering and repressive policies of the anti-cultural clerical regime, and it becomes worse as long as this regime is in power.
