Central Bank Governor Mohammad Reza Farzin condemned the Zionist regime's attack on Iran and announced the complete readiness of the country's banking network to serve the public, Mizan reported on June 13.
The Iranian rial weakened against a basket of foreign currencies on June 13 in outside trading hours but is expected to fall considerably more when markets open a day later. Farzin’s indirect message to the system is an attempt to calm markets ahead of time.
In a message, Farzin offered condolences for the death of military commanders, prominent scientists, and civilians including women and children in the attack by Israel.
The partial text of the Central Bank Governor's message stated:
"The Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran maintaining complete readiness for banking services to all people to preserve and elevate Islamic Iran, ready to serve and provide comprehensive support for national security and the great ideals of the Islamic Republic of Iran."
The Central Bank Governor stressed that the banking network condemns the aggressive action by Israel while maintaining complete readiness for banking services to all people and comprehensive support for national security and the ideals of the great Iranian nation.
