  "summary": "Iran's central bank governor has dismissed claims of an economic collapse despite the US naval blockade aimed at eliminating Iran's oil exports and draining state coffers. The blockade, which was reinstated in July and intensified in August, has led to a sharp fall in the Iranian rial, losing nearly 35% of its value against the US dollar since July. The central bank is currently prioritizing inflation control, financial stability, and securing foreign currency for essential goods, while launching a program to sell up to $2 billion to support the rial.",
