  "account": "Iran's foreign minister has reportedly proposed in private discussions that his nation be willing to restore access for nuclear inspectors to damaged facilities in return for sanctions relief. This potential concession was mentioned during meetings at the United Nations with European and Middle Eastern diplomats while the foreign minister was in New York for the annual General Assembly. The diplomats, who wished to remain anonymous, noted that the minister provided little information about Iran's economic situation following both sanctions and the U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which has severely restricted the country's oil exports. The offer to allow nuclear inspectors, in exchange for easing sanctions, highlights the significant economic strain Iran is currently experiencing.",
  "summary": "Inflation in Iran is now almost 90% year over year, and the rial has weakened 30% against the dollar as sanctions begin to bite.",
