Iran Limits Daily Dollar Purchases Amid US Sanctions and Currency Decline
Iran has limited US dollar purchases to a maximum of 1,000 dollars per day and 10,000 in total through designated banks and exchange offices amid economic strain from US sanctions. The rial has weakened significantly, trading at 262,000 per dollar in October, up from 135,000 earlier in the year. The US recently imposed sanctions targeting individuals and entities linked to Iran's financial networks, aiming to disrupt funding for its military and regional proxies. US officials emphasize continued pressure until Iran's financial channels are severed.
