The Iranian rial has plummeted to approximately 1.5 million rials per dollar, marking an unprecedented low for the currency.
This decline is occurring amid rising internal protests, which have heightened political and security tensions, directly affecting financial markets and undermining confidence in the rial.
The significant drop presents serious challenges for Iran's economy, including increased costs for imported goods and heightened financial strain on citizens. Analysts warn that ongoing unrest could further weaken the currency, leading to more severe economic consequences.
