Masih Alinejad(@AlinejadMasih):Today, one U.S. dollar crossed 2,000,000 Iranian rials. Read that number again. For the regime, it is an exchange rate. For ordinary Iranians, it means a salary worth less, food more expensive, medicine harder to afford, and another piece of their future disappearing. Iran is one of the richest countries in the world in oil and gas. Iranians should not be poor. But while the Islamic Republic spends billions on repression at home and its ideological projects abroad, ordinary people are watching their savings evaporate. 2,000,000 rials for one dollar is not just an economic record. It is the price Iranians are paying for 47 years of corruption, repression and disastrous policies.
