Abdolnaser Hemmati, the Governor of the Central Bank, today at the memorial ceremony for the mother of the head of the Planning and Budget Organization, responded to Scott Basset, the U.S. Treasury Secretary, saying: "Only three days remain until your two-week deadline." These remarks were made at a time when Basset had previously claimed that Iran's economy would collapse within a two-week period.
Basset's Claims and Hemmati's Response
Scott Basset had stated in his remarks that Iran would deliver its last oil shipments to China within two weeks, after which, due to sanctions and economic restrictions, Iran would be completely empty-handed. He presented this claim in a way that suggested Iran would soon face serious economic challenges and collapse.

As the end of Basset's two-week deadline approaches, Abdolnaser Hemmati reacted to these statements, emphasizing the relative stability of the currency market while reminding of the remaining time. According to Hemmati, not only has Basset's claim about halting transactions not materialized, but the currency market has also witnessed relative stability.
Analysis of Iran's Economic Situation
In recent months, Iran's economy has been affected by international sanctions and economic pressures. However, Hemmati emphasized in his statements that despite the existing challenges, the country's economy is moving towards stability. This comes at a time when some analysts still express concern about Iran's economic situation.
The reality is that Iran has faced many challenges in recent years, but with efforts made in various fields, including managing foreign exchange resources and strengthening domestic production, signs of improvement are being observed in financial markets. Additionally, Iran's trade relations with neighboring countries and others are continuously developing.
As the end of Basset's two-week deadline approaches, the question arises whether these claims will truly come to fruition or if Iran's economy can successfully navigate these crises. Hemmati continued, saying: "We are seeking to strengthen the country's economy and believe that through cooperation and solidarity, we can overcome the current conditions."
