Reported: 3 Oct 2026
Urgency: Watch · Evidence: Attributed claim
Shafaq reports that the euro exceeded 300,000 tomans in Iran's free market on Saturday, citing the Bonbast rate tracker. Iran International separately reported a quote above 302,000 tomans earlier that day. These are attributed market reports at different times, not a single executable price or an official central-bank exchange rate.
What the sources establish
Shafaq attributes the threshold to Bonbast. Iran International's separate report is consistent on the threshold, but an independent underlying rate measurement is not established; status remains attributed. Quote amounts and observation times differ. Bonbast's accessible archive is labelled October 2, so its lower quote is not a same-day contradiction or current-price confirmation. The record-low assertion and actual executed trades were not independently audited and are not asserted here. Midnight UTC represents the reported October 3 date, not the threshold-crossing time. The rounded country marker is representative; no identity is inferred.
Evidence last checked: 3 Oct 2026 23:06 UTC.
Location precision: country. The map point is a reference, not a live position.
Unavailable — First published as attributed currency-threshold reporting, distinguishing sources and observation times from independent price verification; date-only timing and country-level mapping.
