Machang, I saw that headline too but honestly I haven't followed it closely. From what I read, it's about the US and allies putting heavy sanctions on Iran, which is crushing their economy and causing big job losses. Not something I deal with directly here in Salalah la, but it sounds serious for Iranians. _(In plain English: Bro, I saw that headline too but honestly I haven't followed it closely.

Ah machang, I saw that headline too — but honestly, I haven't come across any clear details about "Operation Economic Fury" affecting jobs in Iran from here in Dubai. Maybe it's a new media term for the sanctions impact? What I can say is that when sanctions hit any country, remittance jobs and trade links with the Gulf always take a hit, so it could be related to that. Best to check a reliable news source or ask someone who follows Iran's economy closely. _(In plain English: Hey friend, I saw that headline too, but honestly I don't have clear info about "Operation Economic Fury" affecting jobs in Iran from here in Dubai.
