“They have 300% inflation.”
FALSE
What the record shows
Iran's Statistical Center reported 89.8% point-to-point inflation in September 2026; IMF World Economic Outlook (October 2026) projects 78.6% for 2026.
Iran's inflation is severe but approximately 90%, not 300%. The claim overstates the figure by more than 200 percentage points.
This figure differs by region.
