In response to ongoing economic challenges and severe US sanctions, Iran has announced a significant increase in gasoline prices for heavy consumers, doubling rates for those exceeding a monthly quota of 110 liters. The government urges citizens to reduce fuel consumption as the nation grapples with an unprecedented rise in costs, a record low currency, and concerns over public discontent. Increased security measures are deployed in cities as the government implements these changes, hoping to mitigate potential unrest stemming from the price hikes.
