Iran’s Central Bank Governor, Abdolnaser Hemmati, stated Tuesday that the country possesses adequate foreign currency reserves despite ongoing U.S. sanctions. This declaration directly counters recent comments from U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, who alleged Iran’s economic struggles were driving its aggressive behavior. Hemmati further announced the central bank's preparedness to inject up to $2 billion into the foreign exchange market to stabilize recent fluctuations. He directly addressed the U.S. President, asserting Iran's financial stability. The move comes amid heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran, spurred by the reimposition of sanctions following the U.S. withdrawal from a nuclear deal. This Iranian response aims to project economic resilience and challenge the narrative of a failing economy under pressure from American policies.
