As of midnight on Saturday, December 13, the administration of Masoud Pezeshkian began implementing a policy that directly targets the livelihoods of millions of Iranians already crushed under the weight of inflation. According to the new directive, gasoline is now rationed into three price brackets: a subsidized quota of 60 liters per month at 15,000 rials per liter, a second tier of 100 liters at 30,000 rials, and a punitive \u201cfree market\u201d rate of 50,000 rials per liter for any consumption beyond these limits. Regime officials openly admit that this decision was driven by the government\u2019s bankruptcy and an unprecedented budget deficit, forcing Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei to claw at the empty tables of the Iranian people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/article\/irans-regime-risks-explosion-with-gasoline-price-hike\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hamideh Jabbari, 41, Executed at Qom Central Prison<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-335753 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/82nd-week-of-the-No-to-Execution-Tuesdays-campaign-in-49-prisons-across-the-country-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Executions in Iran\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/82nd-week-of-the-No-to-Execution-Tuesdays-campaign-in-49-prisons-across-the-country-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/82nd-week-of-the-No-to-Execution-Tuesdays-campaign-in-49-prisons-across-the-country-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/82nd-week-of-the-No-to-Execution-Tuesdays-campaign-in-49-prisons-across-the-country-746x420.jpg 746w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/82nd-week-of-the-No-to-Execution-Tuesdays-campaign-in-49-prisons-across-the-country-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/82nd-week-of-the-No-to-Execution-Tuesdays-campaign-in-49-prisons-across-the-country-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/82nd-week-of-the-No-to-Execution-Tuesdays-campaign-in-49-prisons-across-the-country.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The death sentence of a female prisoner identified as Hamideh Jabbari, 41, from the city of Saveh, was carried out at dawn on Saturday, December 13, 2025, at Qom Central Prison.<br \/>\nHamideh Jabbari, sentenced to death by the Iranian regime\u2019s judiciary, was detained for approximately four years on charges of killing her husband.

As documented in earlier reports, the judiciary\u2019s institutionalized misconduct becomes even more visible inside prisons in the form of forced labor, economic exploitation, drug networks, black-market trading, and the systematic conversion of prisoners into profit-generating assets for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the Prisoners\u2019 Cooperative Foundation, and prison security officials. This fifth report demonstrates how institutions legally tasked with ensuring justice instead operate prisons as multilayered economic hubs an arrangement that would not be possible without the direct involvement of the IRGC, the Khatam-al-Anbia Construction Headquarters, the Prisons Organization, and entities under the Office of the Supreme Leader.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iran-hrm.com\/2025\/12\/14\/network-of-corruption-in-the-ruling-regime-part-5\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Workers And Nurses Hold Protest Rallies in Cities Across Iran<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-340464 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/sanandaj-nurses-protests-13122025-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Sanandaj nurses protest outside Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences\u2019 HR building\u2014December 13, 2025\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/sanandaj-nurses-protests-13122025-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/sanandaj-nurses-protests-13122025-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/sanandaj-nurses-protests-13122025-745x420.jpg 745w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/sanandaj-nurses-protests-13122025-150x85.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/sanandaj-nurses-protests-13122025-696x393.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/sanandaj-nurses-protests-13122025.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Simultaneously with labor and professional protests in three Iranian cities, four worker and retiree organizations issued a statement supporting the demands of thousands of workers at the South Pars gas refineries and third-party contract workers over the past week.

Iran\u2019s education system is facing a multi-layered crisis, driven by chronic budget shortages, mismanagement, and policy decisions that threaten both academic quality and social equity. Recent reports from regime-affiliated media reveal two alarming fronts: proposed reductions in university study periods and the large-scale exclusion of children with special needs from formal education.
