The price of the dollar in the free market of Iran reached 213,700 tomans, and the dollar exchange rate reached 218,000 tomans. Each British pound was also traded at 289,000 tomans.

Today's figure marks the fourth consecutive record in four working days. The dollar closed at 206,400 tomans on Saturday, rose to 208,000 on Sunday, and reached 210,000 tomans on Tuesday.

Simultaneously with the new records in the currency market, the Governor of the Central Bank stated at the 36th Islamic Banking Conference that Iran does not have a currency shortage and the claim of economic collapse is false.
Hemmati, in response to statements from American officials regarding Iran's lack of access to financial resources, said: "These claims are completely unfounded. Unblocked reserves, stable resources, and various oil and non-oil revenues are available to the Central Bank."
He added that the Central Bank allocated 500 million dollars to the market last week and is now ready to inject up to two billion dollars if needed.

Hemmati's statements today differ from his previous position. Last week, in a television interview, he stated: "Our income from oil sales has become zero; it is a reality that we are not exporting oil."

The shift in tone occurred after a message from Mojtaba Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Republic, on the occasion of Government Week. In that message, he said that sometimes a candid expression of weaknesses aids the enemy and emphasized the necessity of "explaining and narrating Iran's power and strength."
The leader of the Islamic Republic declared in the same message: "I firmly announce that committing anything detrimental to social cohesion is prohibited."
