Why this is news
⚡ Ground-truth evidence ahead of media — While mainstream news reports generally on 'Iran's currency plummets' and 'Iranians voice economic despair as dollar hits 2 million rials,' the social signal provides specific, real-time market prices (e.g., Dollar at 200,500 Tomans, not 2 million Rials as one headline suggests, which is a significant difference in reporting the actual exchange rate) and detailed commodity prices from Tehran, which is more granular and direct evidence than the general statements in the news.
