| #7 tipper yes, the 24k rial per dollar is the black market rate according to the article (the official rate is about 12k rial per dollar) however, the article is just one source and one point in time |

| #6 the black market exchange rate is what counts but that's not available on the net LG, this link has the "street price" which I assume is the blackmarket price. Iran's currency falls to record low against dollar |

| #5 agree with #3. what oil sanctions??? are we to believe that Iran cannot sell its oil - esp. if the price is discounted? I am highly skeptical. |

| #4 no evidence of 'verge of crisis' on their stock exchange or the official exchange rate of course the black market exchange rate is what counts but that's not available on the net |

| #2 The report confuses things that the regime can print money for - government salaries, and things it can't - food imports. |

| #1 The Obama administration would like that because it would give the impression that his sanctions policy on Iran has been "successful" just prior to the election. With that in mind, this report is probably fake. |
