Over 13 trillion tomans withdrawn in a single day as investor panic intensifies
Iran’s stock market is experiencing its worst crisis in years, with over 13.2 trillion tomans withdrawn from the Tehran Stock Exchange during Wednesday’s trading session alone. This mass exodus of capital sets a historic record, as fears of political instability and economic collapse continue to rise in the aftermath of the 12-day war with Israel.
The Tehran Stock Exchange’s overall index dropped more than 42,000 points on Wednesday, following a 57,000-point decline the previous day. This marks the fifth consecutive day of significant losses. Iran International reported that multiple currency exchange offices have experienced technical outages since Monday, likely due to state-imposed restrictions aimed at halting capital outflow.
With investor confidence plummeting and regime control tightening, Iran’s economic system appears increasingly vulnerable to both internal dissent and external pressure.
