The state-run Basirat news website predicted that in the coming days, the price of the US dollar will pass the 40,000 tomans threshold.<\/p>\n

Basirat, which is close to the Iranian regime’s Revolutionary Guards wrote on Thursday: “The price of the currency has increased since last week and has also crossed the 30,000 toman bar.”<\/p>\n

“There are speculations in society that suggest the news of [economic] prosperity is fabricated and that is why the price is rising,” added Basirat. “At its height, the daily demand for paper banknotes is about $4 million to $5 million, and the number that is injected into the market is many times higher, but a large portion of that amount is spent on brokerage and this is increasing the prices.”<\/p>\n

“Bottom line, the price of the US dollar may reach 32,000 tomans in the next couple of days and even pass 40,000 tomans in the next stage,” the website conlcuded.<\/p>\n
