Amid reports of releasing Iran's frozen funds in Iraq, the Iranian regime intends to provide 200,000 Iraqi dinars ($153) to pilgrims who travel to Iraq for Arbaeen. The Governor of the Central Bank of Iran, Mohammad Reza Farzin, said Thursday that from this year onwards, instead of euros and dollars, pilgrims will be paid in Iraqi dinars for their pilgrimage. The regime offers several perks to encourage people to take the pilgrimage such as a ration of cheap foreign currency – which used to be dollars or euros until this year – as well as loans, free internet on the road and inside Iraq and free health checks and rest stops along the way.
