Merchants in Tehran are protesting for the second consecutive day against the economic deterioration and depreciation of the national currency, demanding government intervention.

Merchants in Tehran have closed their shops and gathered to protest against the deteriorating economic situation and the rapid depreciation of the national currency, the rial. The currency has reached a historic low, with an exchange rate of over 1.4 million rials for one dollar, leading to hyperinflation and economic volatility. Protesters are demanding government intervention to stabilize the exchange rate and define a clear economic strategy. Price fluctuations have paralyzed sales, and merchants are postponing transactions.

The Iranian economy is affected by international sanctions and uncertainties related to nuclear negotiations with the United States. The Iranian president has stated that the country is facing a "total war" from the West, while authorities promise measures against the accumulation of foreign currencies.
