Central Bank of Iran Sanctioned

The U.S. has expanded sanctions on Iran's oil sector, hitting the shipping network of petroleum magnate Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani and freezing $130 million in digital wallets linked to Iran's central bank.

This comes on the fourth straight day of strikes against Iran, alongside a reimposed naval blockade.

Iran's Parliament Speaker, Ghalibaf:

$12 billion is to be given to the Central Bank so that it can purchase any goods it needs, at any price and in any currency worldwide. This is possible, and the process is underway.

I have more leeway to 'significantly increase supply of foreign currency' following US waivers and improved access to foreign assets.
