No source reports the rial's rate on 2026-08-25, so the claim's figure of 2 million cannot be confirmed or refuted for that date. The sources do bracket it: the rate was about 1.5-1.6 million in February, hit a record of 2.2 million on Sept.
A guest makes this claim. Listeners heard it, so it counts against the post, and on the guest's own record.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What was said
… That's where the president is right now, and when the Iranians make an outrageous statement, he makes one in turn, so he's going to continue that. My belief is that if we, if we keep going down this path, in 30 to 60 days, we will see a different Iran. The Iranian currency hit 2 million rials to the dollar today, which is just extraordinarily bad. They have at least 80 inflation. I think it's higher than that. Yeah, all right, let's take a break and come back. I've got much more I want to discuss with you, including Canada, including Lake Ontario. …
The Rob Carson Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Context. AP and Fortune report the rial hit a record low of 2.2 million per dollar on Sept. 2, 2026, implying the late-August rate was below that level.[1][4][5]
Context. Fortune reports the rate was near 1.5 million at the start of 2026, and SBS/Bonbast says the rate was 1.5-1.6 million in mid-to-late February before the war.[4][6]
Context. Later reporting shows much higher rates: Bonbast recorded 2.567 million on Sept. 30 and Reuters reported about 2.688 million on Oct. 3, both after the claim date.[2][6]
Context. No source gives an August 25, 2026 rate, so the claim's 2 million figure is not directly graded against the record for that date.
Context. Some aggregator pages dated late October and November show rates of about 1.37 to 1.87 million, conflicting with the Bonbast and Reuters figures; these are later snapshots and do not bear on August 25.[3][7][8][9]
