Iran's Currency Hits 1.9 Million to the Dollar — The Regime Is Cracking
Iran's currency has collapsed to 1.9 million rials to the dollar. With 45,000+ dead in street protests and the central bank governor publicly breaking ranks, is the regime finally cracking?
This week's BFI News from Israel covers one of the most consequential moments in the Iran-US standoff yet. We break down the Strait of Hormuz crisis, the devastating economic collapse inside Iran, Israel's massive new defence purchases, and what it all means for the region going forward.
Iran's infrastructure has taken an estimated $270 billion in damage — nearly 60% of its entire GDP. Over a million jobs gone. The rial rendered virtually worthless. And now even regime insiders are publicly calling for a ceasefire. Meanwhile, US Navy vessels successfully escorted civilian shipping through the Strait under "Project Freedom," and Israeli and American forces are reportedly preparing for a sharp new campaign of strikes.
We also look at the ripple effects on Israel's economy, rising global inflation tied to energy supply disruptions, and the IDF's newly announced purchase of F-35I and F-15IA fighter squadrons.
