IRAN: Only the commodity and energy exchanges plus fixed-income investment funds have been allowed to continue intermittent daily trades since the attack by the US and Israel began on the 28th February 2026. Iran’s Securities and Exchange Organization (SEO) Head Hojjatollah Seydi said all Fara Bourse equity market trades on that day were annulled. Fara Bourse trading stays suspended to protect the capital market assets value of 11 million retail individual shareholders, estimated at 1,050 hemats (US$798.12 million), while the value of the assets of small and medium-sized institutional shareholders is estimated at 1,150 hemats (US$874.16 million). Even after the conflict ends, the SEO said Fara Bourse cannot be reopened until a prescribed minimum level of disclosure and publication of information by listed firms is achieved – under an emergency regulation to be announced.
