Today's currency price surge in #Iran
U.S. dollar = 148,500 rials
Euro = 173,300 rials
My take:
Iranians know the regime will be in deep waters this week at the #UNGA & especially when @realDonaldTrump chairs a UNSC session focusing on the Iranian regime.

On August 6th, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani claimed the country's currency would stabilize.
The U.S. dollar traded at 107,000 that day.
Today, the U.S. dollar is trading at 150,800 rials.

Because Torfeh is another #Iran apologist who now sees #IranRegimeChange imminent and is on a mission to spread the word that Iran's regime has no alternative/opposition.

"Many Iranians had pinned their hopes for a better life on the deal, and it may well have improved relations between the two countries."
Even if true, the mullahs used the deal to further their bellicose, not to improve relations while the Iranian people suffered further.
