Asian Leopards Restricted To Eastern Iran
Asian leopards are now primarily found in the eastern regions of Iran. The leopard's image is used on items ranging from national football team jerseys to aircraft fuselages. An Iranian deputy defense minister stated the country is willing to share defensive capabilities with partners in Asia. Iranian domestic media reported that 21 adult Asian leopards and 6 cubs died in 2022. This follows a previous report where only 17 leopards were identified in the region. The Central Bank of Iran is issuing 10 million rial banknotes featuring images of the Jamiz Mosque and Bam Citadel. Despite the large numerical value, the currency's purchasing power is insufficient to cover a basic basket of daily necessities. The exchange rate in Iran has exceeded 1.5 million rials to the dollar.
