TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran’s rial currency fell Wednesday to an all-time low as former President Donald Trump was on the verge of clinching the U.S. presidency again.

The rial traded at 703,000 rials to the dollar.

In 2015, at the time of Iran's nuclear deal with world powers, it was at 32,000 to $1.
