Iran Affirms Foreign Currency Reserves Amid U.S. Sanctions and Upcoming Bank Sanctions
Iran's Central Bank Governor Abdolnaser Hemmati stated that despite U.S. sanctions and economic challenges, Iran has sufficient foreign currency reserves and plans to inject up to $2 billion into the foreign exchange market to stabilize volatility. He acknowledged difficulties in economic conditions but denied any collapse, calling claims of economic failure psychological warfare. Meanwhile, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced upcoming bank sanctions against Iran, aiming to increase economic pressure amid ongoing tensions and recent attacks near the Strait of Hormuz.
