Iran\u2019s currency fell to a new record low on Tuesday, with traders in Tehran exchanging more than 2.5 million rials to the U.S. dollar in a stark reflection of how the war in the Middle East has steadily eroded the Iranian economy.<\/p>\n

The latest decline came just 27 days after the rial hit its previous record low of 2.2 million to the dollar on Sept. 2. The currency has repeatedly reached new lows since the war began in February.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Iran\u2019s top diplomat said indirect negotiations with the United States aimed at reopening the critical Strait of Hormuz have become \u201cmore serious,\u201d while the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps\u2019 chief spokesman Gen. Hossein Mohebbi on Tuesday called on Americans to take to the streets and protest the conflict.<\/p>\n

Araghchi made the comments shortly before departing New York \u2014 where he attended last week\u2019s gathering of world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly \u2014 and after meeting with Pakistani and Qatari mediators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
