Euro exchange rate was 14,700 rials and pound rate was 17.300 rials.
The Iran Central Bank (ICB) said it takes exchange market under control, offering lower prices for foreign currency, Fars News Agency reported.
The sudden increase was fixed yesterday at the independent market, when 1 US dollar was exchanged at 11.650 rials.
Increase in US dollar rate in Iran is explained by drop in supply in foreign currency markets.
