I feel positive that the Iran Central Bank is manipulating the value of their currency to convince the world that they are hurting, while the average street citizen goes on buying their dates, goat meat, and hummus at about the same price.
The exchange rate is NOT just a manipulation of the money changers but a highly controlled dollar rate set by the Central Bank.
Iranians, even provincials (above village level) use dollars frequently. For business, to send to relatives or children abroad (several million of these all over the world)and though replaced by barter deals, for oil transactions.
Like Obama raising taxes - amazing how in tandem Obama is with Iranian Mullahs, the Iranian authorities are announcing increase in taxes on a broad cross section of the populace to wean the country off an oil based economy into a general tax based one. Including raising costs like Obama of retail vehicle fuels etc., (higher costs at the pump).
Pres. Ahmadi-Nejad has nine months before the end of his term in office. After which he is dogmeat.
Lots more conflict in progress among the Larijanis, Supreme Ruler Khamenei and various other senior clerics with Prez. Ahmadi-Nejad’s only chance to be alive in 12-months is if he can leak some of the Supreme Ruler’s secrets and those the sons and threatens to expose the mind-boggling Billions (dollars) they have stolen from oil deals and various other kick-backs.
Too tired to continue. More later
