What the source reported
Source-reportedIran's currency has plummeted to a staggering 2.02 million rials against the US dollar, reflecting deepening economic strain as Washington gears up for more sanctions. The rial's decline is fueled by persistent sanctions and a naval blockade, exacerbated by double-digit inflation and negative growth. The ongoing conflict, now nearing six months, has further devastated an already fragile economy.
