Iran's Central Bank Governor, Abdolnaser Hemmati, announced on Tuesday that the regime possesses sufficient foreign currency reserves despite ongoing United States sanctions and a blockade. Speaking according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency, Hemmati stated that the central bank is prepared to inject up to $2 billion into the foreign exchange market.
