Iran’s Dollar Rate Reaches 268,700 Tomans as Energy Sector Rebuilds War-Damaged Facilities

Iran’s free-market dollar rate climbed to 268,700 tomans on October 6, reflecting renewed pressure on the rial as authorities work to restore energy infrastructure damaged during the conflict. Reports said oil and gas facilities, including parts of the South Pars complex, were undergoing reconstruction, while officials sought to maintain exports and gradually restore production. The currency decline has raised the cost of imports and intensified inflationary concerns. Gold, coins, cars and stablecoin prices moved higher, underscoring strain across Iran’s economy.
