Iran's currency, the rial, has hit a record low against the US dollar, with the exchange rate reaching 2.4 million rials to the dollar on the free market, according to a report by Anadolu Agency.
The report did not specify the factors immediately driving the latest depreciation or provide a comparison with the exchange rate on previous trading days.
The Iranian rial has faced sustained depreciation pressure in recent years amid international sanctions targeting Iran's economy, alongside high inflation and limited access to foreign currency reserves. The free-market rate for the rial typically differs significantly from Iran's official, government-set exchange rate.
Anadolu Agency's report did not include comment from Iranian officials on the currency's decline or indicate whether the government planned any intervention to stabilize the exchange rate.
Currency depreciation in Iran has historically been accompanied by rising prices for imported goods and increased cost-of-living pressures for Iranian households.
