Following the deepening of military and political tensions with the US, the Iranian currency, the rial, saw its lowest level in history. At exchange offices in Tehran, each dollar was traded at a selling price of 1,928,000 rials. This sharp decline accelerated since last Saturday, when the US launched a new wave of attacks against Iran's southern cities.

Additionally, Washington reimposed a naval blockade on Iran's ports and ships. This step came after Iran's decision to close the Strait of Hormuz. US retaliatory attacks, which began following Iranian attacks on commercial vessels in the region, brought the tension between the two countries to its highest level.

The Iranian economy was already under severe pressure, as general inflation reached 88.6% and the food and beverage sector reached 133.9% in June, marking their highest levels in recent years. War and blockade conditions in the country, combined with the devastation caused by damaged infrastructure following economic protests in January and a 40-day bombardment that began in February, are putting the public in an even more difficult situation.
