From kidneys to body tissues: Desperate Iranians put organs up for sale as war drags on

Wait 5 sec.

Iran's deepening economic crisis has driven residents to advertise organs, including kidneys, bone marrow and liver, to pay debts and meet basic expenses. An Iran International investigation of over 600 Telegram listings found widespread multiple-organ offers, highlighting growing financial desperation. The crisis is worsening amid US sanctions, a naval blockade and regional conflict. Economists warn prolonged restrictions could severely affect oil revenues, inflation, public salaries and essential supplies, despite Tehran rejecting economic collapse concerns.
