The Leader of Iran's Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei officially endorsed Hassan Rohani as the country's new president for a four-year term on Saturday. Rohani succeeded Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Iran's national currency, the rial, lost about 50 percent of its foreign exchange value in less than a week in October 2012, hitting an all-time low of 35,500 versus the dollar. It was close to 10,000 in early 2011.

The government has set the 28,500 rials price for the free market but the brokers refuse to trade dollar at the mentioned price.
