Iran’s Currency Hits Record Low Amid Economic Crisis
Iran’s national currency has reached a record low, with the US dollar exceeding 1.63 million rials in the free market, underscoring a severe economic crisis. This dramatic devaluation, driven by sanctions, economic mismanagement, and political tensions, has led to soaring inflation, making basic necessities unaffordable and significantly reducing purchasing power. The widening gap between the official and free market exchange rates highlights the government’s struggle to stabilize the economy, which has already sparked widespread public anger and protests.
