Iranian rial sinks to a new all-time low

Share:

The Iranian rial plunged more than 7% in open-market trade on Monday to a new all-time low of about 32,000 per US dollar, traders and currency-tracking websites said, meaning the currency has lost about a quarter of its value in the past week.

The rial traded at 32,250 on Monday, currency-tracking website Mazanex said; an Iranian foreign exchange trader in Dubai confirmed the drop. The Iranian currency was trading at 24,600 last Monday, according to currency-tracking site Mesghal.

    Tehran spends billions of dollars in the form of military and financial support to Damascus, causing a rift in the Iranian regime, a report published by The Times on Monday said, as fighting resumed across the war-torn country, leaving more deaths. 
    Iran has paid the salaries of the Syrian regime troops for months, in addition to providing Assad with weapons and logistic support, The Times reported citing members of the Syrian opposition.the support provided by Tehran to the Syrian regime of President Bashat al-Assad has caused a split between Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the country’s spymaster Qassem Suleimani, due to the failure of the latter to end the Syrian conflict in favor of Assad.

        Keep spending and wait for the end result.

          i am very well aware of the bad living conditions in iran but exactly how would it benefit the iranians if wahabis come to power in syria? and i also agree that the current regime drains iran, however i am not sure a regime change in iran itself would help that much. this dictatorship is gonna be replaced by another just as shah was replaced by this dictatorship… maybe it’s something genetic…………

            Let’s not kid ourselves many of Al Qaeda members were living and training in Iran prior to ISIS. Many were facilitated routes from Syria to Iraq in order to fight American soldiers and their western allies at the time. Even causing death among Shiites all because Iran wanted to control and divide. Yes the US were there and it was a big mistake and they paid for it and unfortunately the Iraqis including minorities paid the biggest price. but no make mistake instead of Iran helping the rules of Saddam they helped fuel it between Sunnis and Shiites. Look at the Americans in no way shape or form they wanted to stay or would stay longer than expected. it was the Iranian supported Maliki who kicked out the Americans and iran wanted to take over. so they stop funding the sunnis tribes who were fighting against ISIS and Al Qaeda and Shiites militiamen who are backed by Iran alienated more the Sunnis.. you are going around to Lebanon and putting hundreds of millions of dollars into hezbollah and many others groups i am sure all to control. what is Iran doing in Lebnaon? haven’t you heard your generals telling us that we are a second front for Iran? i believe they should said first front because lebanon been before Iraq and Syria getting the brunt of the killings and damages. Instead of supporting the Lebanese Army and training it when Syria was in lebanon instead they choose Hezbollah Shiites. what does that tell you? they don’t want peace and only want the group for war and control. if you stick to your business and mind ours we can all live with some peace. Yes many extremists group were supported other rich arabs but in no way they would have supported bigger scale had the Shiites of Iran started scaring them.
            you can argue it was the US and this and that. but before that Iran were in Lebanon long time ago. you can say we saved your ass from Israel? No one is doubting Israel mentality toward hegemony and control but also the shiites and Christians in lebanon and some moderate sunnis would have been in control of Lebanon and we would have eventually formed a strong army and beat back Israel instead. Mind your own business and stop dividing Syria. many Sunnis in Syria would have welcome a peaceful resolution but all you wanted Areas to make sure the flow of weapons and routes are safe to hezbollah. you could careless about the Syrian people and anybody else. in the end you are no different than israel and the dick cheney’s and Henry Kissinger of America.

    Assad behind deadly mall blaze in Qatar: leaked documents. leaked files reveal that the Syrian regime of President Bashar al-Assad might have planned the Villagio blaze.

    In May, a shopping mall blaze in Qatar killed 19 people, most of them children at an unlicensed Doha nursery. 

    The fire which began in a sporting goods store in Doha’s Villagio Mall had started, according to official statements, “due to faulty electrical wiring in a fluorescent light.” 

    All 19 people killed in the inferno on May 28 were foreigners, including two fire fighters, 13 children and four teachers.

    It will be fun to see the real Alqaeda ……

    Assad regime and Iranian Majoosis are behind Alqaeda Operation.A telegram sent in February from the presidential palace in Damascus to the Syrian Embassy in Qatar unveils important information on the Syrian strategy to “embarrass” the Qatari state. Syrian Major General Dhu al-Himma Shaleesh, head of the president’s Special Security force, wrote to the Syrian ambassador in Qatar, Hajem Ibraheem, requesting from him to serve “the supreme interests of the (Syrian) state.” Shaleesh informed the ambassador of the need to humiliate Qatar after its supposed role in supporting the Free Syrian Army, the country’s main armed opposition group.

    Shaleesh had requested from the Syrian ambassador in Qatar to provide him with suggestions on how Syria would proceed to implement its strategy and put the Gulf state in a critical situation to weaken its image and alter public opinion of the state. A second highly secretive document dated June 2, also sent from Shaleesh but this time addressed personally to President Assad, acknowledges the “success” of the first operation aimed to destabilize Qatar and embarrass it in front of the world. Shaleesh named the operation “Villagio blaze.”

      Doing it for ‘love’ is one thing. Cutting your own ‘chances’ for a future by half takes some consideration. Doing it for ‘money’ is a form of insanity. Just so you know.
