Story so far

Iran's currency, the rial, has experienced a continuous decline, reaching a new record low in August 2026. The depreciation is linked to ongoing US economic pressure, including a campaign dubbed 'Operation Economic Outcast'. This has caused significant inflation, with prices for basic necessities rising sharply and impacting daily life for citizens.

Latest development

The Iranian Rial has fallen to a historic low against the US dollar, with the exchange rate now exceeding 2 million rials per dollar. The sharp decline is attributed to US sanctions and has led to a severe reduction in the purchasing power of ordinary Iranians.
