Regional and geopolitical objectives of Tehran have way greater positions before the government than its economy. The Iranian economy is an internal player that does not play for domestic games. If one wants to know about the current economic performance of the Islamic Republic, the financial situation of the Hezbollah must be checked over, and not the Tehran stock market.
In a typical 'unbalanced defense' strategy, small players would increasingly rise and fall in order to protect national security. But ironically, the Iranian national security including economic and even political security is going to be sacrificed for saving that very little pawns. Syria, Hezbollah, and Hamas are in fact 'pawns' that act as 'queens' for Tehran. Therefore, the regime's existence is relying on them.
The national security strategy of the Islamic Republic is not merely unbalanced but it is a sick strategy just like the strategic vision of Mussolini in the World War II as it was evidently affected by his personal obsessions.
Syria and Hezbollah cannot be considered threatening actors of the region but they are definitely the morphine of Tehran.
