Iran says it has enough foreign currency despite US sanctions
The central bank said it has enough reserves and receivables to support the market as the rial hit a record low and inflation reached 66%.
- Central Bank Governor Abdolnaser Hemmati stated on Tuesday that Iran maintains sufficient foreign currency reserves despite United States sanctions, countering Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's Monday assertion that Tehran is "lashing out kinetically because they are losing economically."
- Iran's currency plunged to a record low of 2 million rials to the United States dollar in August, while annual inflation reached 66% in July, intensifying economic pressure on the nation.
- To stabilize volatile markets, Hemmati said the central bank is prepared to inject up to $2 billion into the foreign exchange market while continuing to collect foreign currency receivables and domestic reserves.
- Hemmati dismissed external claims as "psychological warfare", stressing to Iranians that "collapse has never happened and will never happen" despite acknowledged economic difficulties.
- Washington continues relying on economic pressure to force Tehran to meet its demands, while President Masoud Pezeshkian has acknowledged the nation faces growing difficulties amid United States sanctions and a naval blockade.
