Yeah but according to JPP marxists like Jarod, the mullahs are wining and have Trump right where they want him because a tanker got through the blockade or something like that.
I actually looked into buying a billion dollars in Rials for fun. I wanted them in small bills so I can keep a few brief cases full of cash. Turns out I can buy 10 million $100 bills for $750. I asked Grok how many briefcases I could fill with 1 billion Rials in $100 bills. Answer: 500-1000 lol. I think the shipping cost would be more than the cost of the money. For a little understanding of how bad things really are, they had to create the 5 million Rial bill in Feb, prior to Epic Fury and then one month later they introduced the 10 million Rial bill in March. Here's a brief look at what has happened to the Iranian people's money as soon as the Socialist/Islamist took over in 79.Let me know when it passes this point:

- 1980: ~70-80 Rials per USD. Largest bill: 10,000 Rials (had been the top for decades).
- 1980s-1990s: Steady devaluation from war, sanctions, and inflation. Reached ~500-1,000+ per USD by early 1990s. Still max 10,000 Rial note.
- 2005: Introduced 20,000 Rial note.
- 2007-2010: 50,000 Rial, then 100,000 Rial (highest until recently) due to accelerating inflation.
- 2020s: New highs like $1 million Rial bills and then 5M and 10M Rial notes (Feb, March, of 2026) as currency collapsed further.
