Residents of the Khorramdasht district rallied against continuous power outages, condemning the regime&#8217;s involvement in regional conflicts at the expense of domestic infrastructure and the livelihoods of Iranians. Concurrently, high school students and their parents gathered in front of the regime&#8217;s Supreme Cultural Council, protesting recent regulations that increased the weight of school grades in university entrance exams. The demonstrators criticized these changes, claiming they benefit the &#8220;entrance exam mafia&#8221; and increase opportunities for cheating, especially in less regulated areas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In addition, families of Iranian truck drivers trapped in Afghanistan due to the poor quality of fuel imported from Iraq protested outside the customs office. More than 600 trucks have been stuck for over three months as Afghan authorities, citing fuel quality issues, have blocked their return. Despite repeated pleas to Iranian authorities, the situation remains unresolved.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The ongoing fuel crisis involving Iranian truck drivers in Afghanistan highlights the complexities of Iran&#8217;s international relations under the current government. The impasse, blamed on poor-quality fuel imports from Iraq and stringent Afghan standards, reflects broader regional tensions. Iranian officials have hinted at the possibility of banning the use of Iranian transport for Afghan fuel shipments if the situation is not resolved soon.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">August 28\u2014Larestan, southern Iran <br \/>Residents of Larestan rally in front of the governorate to protest constant power outages.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IranProtests?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IranProtests<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/vpNIKvnZ2n\">pic.twitter.com\/vpNIKvnZ2n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; People&#39;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) (@Mojahedineng) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Mojahedineng\/status\/1828840698692674023?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 28, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Larestan<\/strong>, <strong>Southern Iran<\/strong>: Residents of Larestan staged a protest in front of the governorate&#8217;s office, voicing their frustration over persistent power outages.
