Iran claims ample FX reserves despite US sanctions; US says Tehran losing economic war
Straits Times·IR · US·about 12 hours ago
Iran's Central Bank Governor Abdolnaser Hemmati publicly stated that Iran has sufficient foreign currency reserves despite US sanctions, and signaled readiness to inject up to $2 billion into the FX market to stabilize recent volatility. The claim is unverified and likely aimed at reassuring markets and countering sanctions pressure, but the actual reserve adequacy remains uncertain. This matters because it could influence Iranian currency stability and regional market sentiment.
