Introduction

The Iranian rial is now very weak. It is at a record low against the U.S. dollar.

Main Body

The rial lost a lot of value on Wednesday. Now, one U.S. dollar costs about 1.8 million rials. The U.S. navy stops Iran from selling oil. Because of this, the government has less money. In the past, the money lost value and people became angry. They had big protests in the streets. Many people died in these fights. Now, food and medicine cost more money. Some factories closed. Many people lost their jobs in March.

Conclusion

Iran has big money problems. Prices are going up and the rial is very weak.
