LIVE: Protests Erupt in Iran as Currency Hits Record Low Against US Dollar | Tehran | Palki Sharma

Iran is facing renewed economic pressure as protests break out in parts of Tehran. The unrest follows a sharp fall in the value of the rial, which has dropped to nearly 1.42 million to the US dollar. Inflation remains high, with food and medical costs rising sharply. Shopkeepers and traders say daily business has become unsustainable, as prices fluctuate and purchasing power declines. Government officials have acknowledged public anger and pledged to address economic concerns. Years of sanctions, restricted trade and weakening growth continue to strain Iran’s economy, pushing long-standing pressures back into public view.
