Iran's Rial Plummets Amid Deadly Crackdown

Iran's national currency, the rial, has plummeted to an unprecedented 1.5 million to the US dollar, marking the country's deepest economic crisis amidst escalating nationwide protests and a brutal government crackdown. These demonstrations, initially sparked by severe economic hardship, have evolved into a movement demanding political change, met with thousands of reported deaths and a near-total internet shutdown by the regime.
