Iran’s Currency Falls to Record Low as Intel Says Regime at Its ‘Weakest Point’ Since 1979
NYT: “The reports signal that the Iranian government’s hold on power is at its weakest point since the shah was overthrown in the 1979 revolution.”
The Iranian currency on Tuesday plunged to a record low as the regime tries to suppress the biggest protest in its 47-year history. Iran’s rial is now trading at 1.5 million to the dollar, down nearly half from when President Donald Trump took office.
Nationwide protests first erupted after the Iranian rial crashed in late December, largely due to President Trump’s Maximum Pressure policy. In recent weeks, the Khamenei regime has been cracking down on the unrest by massacring thousands of protesters while keeping the country in a near-total internet blackout.
🇮🇷 IRAN'S MONEY JUST HIT 0 AGAINST THE EURO
The Iranian Rial is now literally worth 0.00 when you try to exchange it for euros.
Not 1 cent, not half a penny. Just 0. Nothing.
It is a clear indication that shows the end of a regime where the fall of its currency reflects its… https://t.co/L4AuUO5PDD pic.twitter.com/EfLHdSg6eu

Reuters reported:
Iran’s currency dropped to a record low of 1,500,000 rials to the U.S. dollar on Tuesday, according to Iranian currency tracking websites, weeks after protests sparked by the rial’s dwindling value rocked the country.

The Iranian currency hits a new low amid reports that intelligence briefings delivered to President Trump reveal that the Mullah regime is at its ‘weakest point’ since it grabbed power in 1979. “President Trump has received multiple U.S. intelligence reports indicating that the Iranian government’s position is weakening, according to several people familiar with the information,” the New York Times reported Monday. “The reports signal that the Iranian government’s hold on power is at its weakest point since the shah was overthrown in the 1979 revolution.”

Meanwhile, the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group has arrived in the Middle East. The ‘armada,’ as President Trump calls it, brings massive firepower and long-range strike capabilities to the U.S. military’s existing capabilities in the region. The Associated Press reported Monday:
The aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and three accompanying warships have arrived in the Middle East, bringing a renewed potential that President Donald Trump could opt to order airstrikes on Iran over its crackdown on protesters.
The carrier, along with three destroyers, “is currently deployed to the Middle East to promote regional security and stability,” U.S. Central Command said Monday on social media. (…)
The aircraft carrier hosts multiple squadrons of aircraft, including F-35 Lightning II fighter jets and F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jets. Meanwhile, the destroyers bring with them hundreds of missiles, which could include dozens of Tomahawk land attack cruise missiles.

Earlier this month, President Trump warned Tehran that the U.S. was “locked and loaded and ready to go.” If the regime “kills peaceful protesters,” the U.S. will “come to their rescue,” he promised on Truth Social. The regime has since intensified the deadly crackdown, reportedly massacring tens of thousands of Iranians. Tehran also denied claims that it had halted the planned execution of hundreds of protesters, as announced by President Trump. Media reports published over the weekend claim that the regime forces may have killed between 30 and 36 thousand protesters in the span of merely four weeks.
🔴 Tehran tonight
An Iranian man holde up a poster that says.
“President Trump, the people of Iran are trying to save the world from a terrorist regime with their bare hands.
Please help.”

5k drones would shut them down completely and give people their freedom
unless they act like american dems and vote them right back into power
So of if I took Hamas’ casualty numbers, which are obviously inflated and exaggerated , of 72, 000, that took Israel 2 1/2 years from 2023 to 2025. The Iranian regime has now killed half that number in 4 weeks. But only one of these is a genocide according to the news media, our elite colleges, the entire Democrat party, and the UN. The other one is like kind of sad but like oh well ; free Palestine ! This is what it’s like trying to have a conversation with people about the Gaza war ; it’s like but but but dead babies ! And the numbers aren’t equivalent !!!! It’s not proportional !!!! But when it’s come to an actual genocide , just silence. I pray for the Iranian people because no one is looking for out for them and literally no one in the so called free world cares.
yeah
good post
I was actually thinking this same point last night. Where is the outrage from the usual suspects – western media, Eurotrash, democrats, campus idiots (students and professors). entertainment clowns, out of lane athletes, islamic countries, china, russia. etc…. etc… The silence is deafening. These deaths are not occurring during a war but from Iran deliberately killing their own citizens and the result …. The next time one of the usual suspects goes to make a comment about Israel they should be asked where was their outrage towards Iran and told to go F themselves.
Let’s also compare Iran to our homegrown insurrection, 35K deaths in Iran. 2 deaths in US both of which were essentially self-induced. Look at the outrage towards both, It boggles my mind frankly.
Where are all the “NGOs” who criticizes Israel incessantly during its war with Hamas? Their silence is deafening.
Up in Minnesota, rioting.
It’s never about what what it appears to be. It’s about hating Trump and America
That’s what that photo looks like.
I wonder how much Soros made shorting their currency. Wish I had thought of that.
I want to know who is holding Iran together by stopping Trump from doing what would be best for the region and the world.
