Iran's rial reaches new low amid protests and economic crisis

Protests around Iran over its economy have continued on January 6, with demonstrators holding a sit-in at Tehran's Grand Bazaar, later dispersed by security forces. It all comes down to a currency in seeming freefall and hitting new lows as inflation soars, pushing living costs ever higher for ordinary Iranians who've seen prices skyrocket in recent months. The government tries to relieve the pressure, most recently with direct payments to Iranians. But for many Iranians, it's not enough.
