Like a flea on a dog’s back the IRGC’s has a future is grim looming towards them.
DUBAI, Sept 7 (Reuters) – Iran said it will announce a new restricted zone in the Gulf in the coming days, along with maps of a new shipping corridor through the Strait of Hormuz, as a weekend exchange of strikes on shipping sent oil prices higher on Monday…
7 REASONS WHY WE DO NOT TAKE IRGC SERIOUSLY?
1.0 (63 MILLION) BARRELS PER WEEK pass through the Strait of Hormuz
U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said oil was getting through the waterway. “Our transits through the Strait are averaging over 9 million barrels a day now, and with the access pipelines that go around the strait, we’re probably two-thirds or more of pre-conflict flows.
(2.0) IRGC’s has not sold a drop of oil for months since the war kicked off
(3.0) IRGC’s has made zero dollars for months
(4.0) IRGC’s shadow fleet is getting sunk or seized
(5.0) IRGC’s $ laundering back channels decapitated.
US. Sanctions Strangle Nefarious actors.
(6.0) IRGC’s Leaderless
The cardboard cutout Mojtaba Khamenei doesn’t in Reality and or Functionally exist
(7.0) IRGC’s domestic inflation rate is 300% - 400% on food etc
GROK said: The figures you gave describe1 currency depreciation of the Iranian rial against the US dollar, not the official consumer-price (CPI) inflation rate. Those two measures often diverge because Iran has long used multiple exchange rates, capital controls, and subsidies.
Exchange-rate change (using your numbers)
1978: 70 IRR = 1 USD
9 September 2026: 1,374,600 IRR = 1 USD
The number of rials needed to buy one dollar rose by a factor of:
In other words, the rial’s dollar value fell to roughly 1/19,637 of its 1978 level.
That is a cumulative increase of about 1,963,614 % in the IRR-per-USD rate.
Over the 48 years from 1978 to 2026 the compound annual depreciation rate is:
per year.
Notes
70 IRR/USD was the official/pegged rate in 1978.
1,374,600 IRR/USD is the rate quoted by several international converters on 8–9 September 2026. The free-market (street) rate in Iran is higher—typically 2.2–2.3 million IRR per USD at the same date.
Official CPI inflation (World Bank / Iranian statistical series) has averaged far lower than 23 % a year over the same period, because many goods were priced at subsidized or official exchange rates rather than the market rate. Recent official annual CPI figures have still been in the 30–45 % range.
The 22.87 % figure is simply the constant annual rate that turns 70 into 1,374,600 over 48 years. Actual year-to-year changes were highly uneven, with sharp jumps after the 1979 revolution, the 1980s war, sanctions episodes, and later inflationary spirals.
