The government has set a 28,500 rials price for the free market, but the brokers refuse to trade dollars at the aforementioned price.
Critics believe the Iranian government is not controlling the price of dollar on the free market on purpose.
They claim the government wants to take advantage of selling the dollar on the free market in order to compensate its lack of budget.
The government maintains an official reference rate of 12,260 rials to the dollar, but only a limited amount of foreign exchange is available at this rate.
