Iran says it has enough foreign currency despite US sanctions

DUBAI, Sept 1 (Reuters) - Iran has sufficient foreign currency reserves despite U.S. sanctions, Central Bank Governor Abdolnaser Hemmati said on Tuesday, after U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Tehran was lashing out because it was losing the economic war. The central bank was ready to inject up to $2 billion into the foreign exchange market to calm recent volatility, Hemmati said, according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency. “I am telling the President of the United States: Iran has (foreign) currency and it has enough,” he added.
