Updated 3 November 2026 (12 Aban 1405). Prices refresh every week. US dollar figures use the Tehran free-market rate of 275,000 tomans to the dollar. One toman is ten rials; here’s why Iranians use both.
Traffic fines in Iran depend on the offence and where it happens: fines are highest in Tehran and other big cities and on main roads, and lower in smaller towns and rural areas.
