Iran's President Reveals His Salary Amount

The President of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian, has announced that his official monthly salary amounts to approximately 1,000 US dollars. According to him, this is the sum he receives as the leader of the country.

At the same time, Iran has recorded a sharp depreciation of its national currency, the rial, over the past year. Data from the last 12 months shows that as of January 2026, the rial has lost about 96 percent of its value.

In 2015, the exchange rate for one US dollar was around 30,000 rials, while by 2026 it has surpassed 1.4 million rials. This figure is seen as a record decline in the country’s currency history.

The depreciation of the rial continues amid economic pressures and market instability.
