**IRANIAN RIAL COLLAPSES TO RECORD LOW
**
Iran’s currency has fallen to a historic low, with the U.S. dollar surging above 240,000 tomans in the free market — around 2.4 million rials per dollar.

 The rial has lost significant value in recent weeks amid sanctions, economic pressure and growing uncertainty over U.S.-Iran tensions and negotiations.

 The currency collapse is increasing pressure on Iranian businesses and consumers as import and food costs continue to rise.
