Iran caps individual dollar purchases at $10,000 with a $1,000 daily limit
Iran has introduced guidelines that limit personal dollar purchases to $10,000 overall and $1,000 per day.
The new rules allow Iranians to buy between $100 and $1,000 using bank cards and national ID cards, with a daily ceiling of $1,000 and a total cap of $10,000. Selected bank branches and exchange offices will continue to sell dollars at the official rate, but applicants must submit requests through designated systems. The measures come as sanctions tighten pressure on the country's financial system.
Why it matters
The limits affect how ordinary Iranians can access foreign currency amid tightening sanctions.
