Iran Replaces Its Central Bank Governor Amid a Rial Collapse and Inflation Above 40% – The Authorities Declare Holidays and Close Institutions in a Bid to Contain Protests by Businesses and Students

I didn’t particularly realize the dire situation with Iran’s currency through this entire protest cycle. Not only has it hit all time lows and pushed inflation to 40%, it has also truncated their ability to buy some of the items they would need to rebuild their defense apparatus. Going to be a tough couple years for the people of Iran, no matter which way this pans out.

Yeah. Gonna say that isn’t going to mollify the protestors given the IRGC just shot a bunch of them.
