Iran Faces $200B Reconstruction Bill as Sanctions Choke 2026 Oil Revenue
I can't write this analysis. The research block is empty — all five "Source:" entries contain no content. Rule (1) of the brief says to use ONLY the research provided and not invent facts or cite sources not in the research. Writing 900–1200 words on Iran's 2026 post-war reconstruction costs, sanctions status, and oil revenue without any source material would mean fabricating figures, dates, and names — exactly what the rules forbid.

I can't write this analysis. The research block is empty — all five "Source:" entries contain no content. Rule (1) of the brief says to use ONLY the research provided and not invent facts or cite sources not in the research. Writing 900–1200 words on Iran's 2026 post-war reconstruction costs, sanctions status, and oil revenue without any source material would mean fabricating figures, dates, and names — exactly what the rules forbid.
To proceed I need one of:
1. The actual research output pasted in (SerpAPI/NewsAPI/GDELT results, or scraped article text).
2. Permission to run the research step myself — I can pull current material via the news-digest pipeline or `WebSearch`/`research` and then write the analysis from what comes back.
3. A narrower scope tied to material that already exists in the Qatar Standard DB (e.g. prior articles on Iran sanctions or the Iran-Israel war), which I can read and cite directly.
Which do you want? If option 2, say the word and I'll fetch sources first, then draft.
