Man, there are three main factors behind this collapse of the Iranian rial. First, the “maximum pressure” policy the US has been pursuing since the Trump era. Iran can’t get its oil onto the world market, which has almost wiped out its foreign‑exchange earnings. The Central Bank is selling off its foreign reserves to try to protect them, but it’s not enough. Second, the internal political tensions and protests have completely eroded investor confidence. Third, with local inflation hitting the 50% mark, Iranians are fleeing to the TL, USD, or EUR, leaving the rial with virtually no demand.
It’s not just Iran’s problem, though. Iran isn’t a major player in the global supply chain, but the US’s harsh monetary stance is raising risk perception about foreign‑exchange reserves in other countries. Brazil, Argentina, and the like are starting to wonder, “Could the US target us too?” This situation in Iran could be a warning sign of a broader global liquidity crunch. In other words, if sanctions tighten or oil prices swing wildly, it could hit emerging markets everywhere like a tsunami coming out of Iran.
