Reza Olfatnasab, head of Iran's Virtual Businesses Union, said e-commerce turnover exceeded 5500 trillion toman in the year just ended, speaking on digital-economy resilience at TEDx Alef on 16 July 2026; dated from that address, the year referred to is the one ending 20 March 2026. In the same remarks he put e-commerce orders at more than 1.357 billion, but attributed that count explicitly to 2024-25, and said more than 306000 businesses now hold the e-Namad electronic trust seal. The source mixes the two reference years and does not reconcile them. At ~178,000 toman/$, the late-2025 rate on record for figures from that year, the turnover is roughly $31B; the toman figure is the reliable read.
