Iran's currency hits a new record low as war erodes the country's economic stability
Middle East2 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported25m ago
Iran's currency fell to a new record low on Tuesday, with traders in Tehran exchanging more than 2.5 million rials to the U.S. dollar. The decline marks a stark reflection of how the ongoing war in the Middle East has steadily eroded the country's economic stability.
The Iranian economy has faced severe duress for years due to international sanctions. However, the situation has escalated into freefall following a U.S. naval blockade on Iranian oil and the imposition of new sanctions since the start of the conflict.
