The Iranian national currency continues to decline rapidly amid the internal political and economic crisis. As of January 11, 2026, 1 Iranian rial is worth about 0.00000086 euros.

Thus, for 1 euro you can buy approximately 1,161,170 rials.

The rial exchange rate against the US dollar has fallen to around 0.0000010, which means almost 994,055 rials for 1 US dollar.

Analysts estimate that the Iranian currency has lost about 96 percent of its value in the past 12 months. The decline comes amid mass protests, a crackdown by security forces and heightened international tensions over Iran.

Amid the devaluation of the rial, inflation in the country has exceeded 40 percent. Food prices have increased by more than 60 percent, significantly affecting the purchasing power of the population.

The economic crisis remains one of the key factors in social tension in the country. Protests continue, and the situation in Iran’s economy remains unstable.

Previously, it was reported that massive anti-government protests are ongoing in Iran, which have spread to dozens of cities across the country . According to human rights activists, the death toll in the unrest has risen to at least 65 people.

As is known,a wave of mass protests has erupted in Iran, caused by the rapid fall of the national currency and the worsening economic crisis . Against the backdrop of the collapse of the Iranian rial, the ayatollah regime is increasingly losing control of the situation, which is causing open resistance in various regions of the country.

Subsequently, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei prepared a plan to flee the country in case anti-government protests escalated and control over the security forces was lost.

On the eve, Trump said that the United States could intervene in Iran’s internal affairs if peaceful protests were brutally suppressed. He stressed that the United States is ready to support the demonstrators if the Iranian authorities use lethal force.
