The current upheaval roiling the foreign exchange market requires a different response than in the past, as conditions surrounding the volatility have changed, the government spokesman said. 
Mohammad Baqer Nobakht also acknowledged that the current circumstances are not good, therefore the government will use all the "potentials of the system" to stabilize the forex market.
