Iran’s Revolutionary Guard intelligence unit questioned members of the Tehran Chamber of Commerce this week over a report warning of severe economic fallout if UN sanctions return, sources told Iran International.
The report, published earlier this week, projected the rial could fall to 1.65 million per dollar and inflation could reach 90% under a pessimistic scenario if the snapback mechanism is triggered. The chamber has since retracted the report under pressure, the sources said, and board members have been restricted from publicly commenting on its contents.
