According to information received by Avatoday, Iranian government plans to hide the growing amount of corruption in the country by removing four zero from its devaluated currency.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Tuesday presented a bill to the parliament to remove four zeros from the country’s currency, rial.

Hundreds of thousands of Iranians took out their money from Iranian Bank due to the crisis.
“The bill was not originally purposed by Iranian Central Bank as the state-run media says. In cooperation with the Supreme leader, it was written by Etelaat (Iran’s intelligence agency),” Avatoday’s source within the Intelligence Agency said.
