The sharp collapse of the national currency caused a wave of anti -government protests in Iran. Iran’s currency fell on Sunday to the lowest significance in history, since negotiations on the resumption of the destroyed nuclear agreement of the country with the world powers came to a dead end.
Traiders in Tehran changed 332 thousand at the US dollar, compared to 327.5 thousand on Saturday. This is 4.4% more compared to June 1, when RIL was trading 318 thousand per dollar. Meanwhile, the police arrested 31 currency and gold merchants accused of creating “false demand” in the market, Iran said on Sunday, not clarifying the details.
Against the backdrop of problems with the economy in various Iranian cities, anti -government protests were held. The largest of them took place in Tehran.
In the capital, entrepreneurs and store owners went out on the street. According to official media, several dozen people protested against the government’s intention to introduce new tax rules and tighten sales control in the framework of the fight against tax evasion.
However, you can see that hundreds of people participate in the protest not published on social networks. Iranian journalist Babak Tagvai writes that the occasion to go out on the street was a sharp fall in the national currency.
In Ashaz in the protest, civil servants took part, who have been paid salaries for several months for several months. Protest shares also held in Keret, Shiraz and Kurdistan.
