Iranian Central Bank Governor Abdulnaser Hemmati said on
Wednesday there were “no concerns” over securing the foreign currency needed to
import medicines and essential goods.
Speaking on the sidelines of a meeting of the Economic
Commission of the Iranian parliament, Hemmati stressed that ensuring access to
basic needs was among the central bank’s top priorities.
Responding to US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s claim
that “the Iranian economy will collapse within two weeks,” Hemmati invoked a
Persian proverb: “Chickens are counted at the end of autumn,” meaning that
outcomes should be judged after they materialize rather 000 tomans on Iran’s
open market on Tuesday than in advance.
The remarks came as the US dollar surpassed 250,000 tomans
on Iran’s open market on Tuesday.
Earlier, the US Treasury Department sanctioned 10 individuals
and entities for allegedly helping Iran’s Defense Ministry procure weapons and
components through networks spanning several countries.
