The rial fell through about 262,000 by mid-September, by 12%.
Iran’s currency, 32,000 rials, is consistent with the dollar at the time of the 2015 Tehran nuclear deal with global powers.

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 the crippling industry that oppose Iran, 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.

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 randomized tens of thousands of people in the community, but researchers also say the epidemic does not appear 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 approximately 1 in 200 people in England are inflamed with 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 note that the strong backlog began in August, when the British government introduced a month-long promotion that gave other people deep discounts for dining at restaurants.
The study also notes that infection rates are spreading on all age teams in England, with a prevalence among 18- to 24-year-olds. Scientists have reported that blacks and others of Asian descent are twice as likely to have COVID-19 as whites.
