World Business Report - The economic hardship for Iran and its citizens

Download The economic hardship for Iran and its citizens

What do people in Iran think about the war? We hear from Iranians across the country who tell us how life is changed.

Also, we look at the life of foreign workers living in neighbouring countries, hearing from two Indian construction workers from Qatar. We ask how they are feeling since the war started.

But others are willing to pay over $250,000 just to escape from the United Arab Emirates.
