DUBAI, February 4. /TASS/. Iran is open to creating a unified BRICS currency if the countries of the alliance all agree on this, official spokesperson of the country’s government Fatemeh Mohajerani said.
"If BRICS member-countries come to a consensus to use a single and unified currency, we are all for it. We will proceed from national interests," she said at a weekly briefing.
US President Donald Trump earlier threatened to impose 100% tariffs on goods from BRICS countries in the event that they create a new currency or reject the dollar. Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov clarified that BRICS is not currently discussing a unified currency for the alliance, focusing instead on establishing common investment platforms in third countries.
