Iran’s currency is at its lowest price ever recorded at 300,000 riyars for every dollar amid the severe US sanctions against the country.
The rial fell through about 262,000 by mid-September, by 12%.
Iran’s currency, 32,000 riyars, is consistent with the dollar at the time of Tehran’s 2015 nuclear deal with global powers.
U. S. sanctions have led to a sharp drop in oil exports from Iran, the country’s main source of income.
Following U. S. President Donald Trump’s resolution more than two years ago to pull the United States out of the nuclear deal and re-impose sanctions on iran-opposing crippling industry, the currency has recovered for some time.
Iranian officials have warned exporters for months to repay their foreign source of income or threaten to revoke their export licences, and the central bank warned that it will publish the names of the infringers.
In June, the central bank reported that Iranian corporations export non-oil products worth more than $40 billion a year, and officials say about 50% of that amount remains abroad. Profits.

British scientists report that the rate of coronavirus infection in England quadrupled last month and even rose in spaces such as north-west England and London.
This is according to a giant government-commissioned study that randomly evaluated tens of thousands of people in the community, but researchers also say the epidemic doesn’t seem to be developing exponentially yet.
“There is evidence of a slowdown,” says Paul Elliott, president of epidemiology at Imperial College London, who led the study. Elliott says some of the measures recently imposed in the UK, adding a ban on meetings of more than six people, could possibly have helped curb the spread of COVID-19.
Elliott says about 1 in two hundred people in England is inflamed by coronavirus, compared to about 1 in 800 people in early September.
“We want to master this now so we don’t have an exponential increase,” he says.
Elliott and his colleagues point out that the sharp increase in cases began in August, when the UK government introduced a month-long promotion that offered other people great discounts for dinner outside.
The study also notes that infection rates are spreading on all age teams in England, with prevalence among 18-24 year olds. Scientists reported that blacks and others of Asian descent were twice as likely to have COVID-19 as whites.

Gamzu said former Director General of the Ministry of Health, Moshe Bar Siman-Tov, would be a worthy successor to his post as the country’s most sensible official in terms of the rate of reaction to the virus, which he is expected to leave in November.
Siman-Tov Bar is “a friend,” he says.
“If he’s the next candidate, I’d be delighted. It’s a smart choice,” he said, a day after Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper reported that Bar Siman-Tov had received the post.
Gamzu, in statements to reporters, said the blockade at the moment appears to be “effective. “
“It’s effective, but will we get to discounted rates like Easter?No, we’re here,” he said.
He says predictions about the effect of the lock “are not definitive. “
“Next week will be fateful,” says the coronavirus tsar.
Gamzu also responded to Health Minister Yuli Edelstein’s call to stay in the workplace after November, and says he will think about it, but prefers to take over the management of Ichilov Medical Center.
The head of the public fitness services, dr. Sharon Elari-Price said Israel’s departure flight restrictions had more to do with “equality” than with real concerns about the coronavirus, in an interview with public broadcaster Kan.
“It’s hard to tell other people in the state of Israel that they have restrictions and can’t move, but those with cash can buy a plane ticket,” he says.
He claims there is a threat of fitness to fly, but claims that epidemiological threats do not justify the ban.
The Israeli government on Friday imposed restrictions on departure flights as part of a series of measures to strengthen the blockade of the virus. In doing so, the government stopped the sale of plane tickets, while allowing those who in the past bought tickets out of the country.
Coronavirus tsar Ronni Gamzu says the outbreak of virus cases is still catching up over the weekend and in Yom Kippur, when peak control centers and laboratories were closed.
“The 9,000 new instances did not surprise me, as they were taken after Yom Kippur. That’s a total of Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. We can assume that we will see those figures continue today,” he told reporters.
Gamzu says the number of cases where the ultra-Orthodox network is increasing.
“Forty of the [cases] shown are ultra-Orthodox,” he says, referring to recent diagnoses.
Ultra-Orthodox make up approximately 12% of the population.
He says the number of cases of virus among the elderly in the ultra-Orthodox network is increasing.

Justice Undersecretary Dina Zilber said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu can simply make fitness decisions that restrict weekly protests against him.
She says there is no conflict of interest in the Hebrew media reports.
Warning opposed to a slippery slope, Zilber writes in reaction to an organization’s question about the factor that, since the protests are directed at the government, it can also be argued that all ministers are therefore forbidden to confront demonstrations.
