Shahin Zoghi Tabar, a political prisoner, released an audio message in December 2025, declaring his unwavering commitment to the overthrow of the religious dictatorship and his support for the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK). In his emotional message, Zoghi Tabar described how becoming involved with the PMOI helped him find purpose and weight through the resistance. He swore an oath to stand by the PMOI \u201cproudly until the last drop of blood\u201d and until the \u201coverthrow of the bloodthirsty mullahs\u2019 regime\u201d and the transfer of sovereignty to the people of Iran.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/news\/iranian-political-prisoner-shahin-zoghi-tabar-vows-resistance-from-evin-prison\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hakimeh Honarmandi, 61, Detained in Prolonged Legal Limbo at Adelabad Prison in Shiraz<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-340676 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/NCRI-Women-Hakimeh-Honarmandi.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/NCRI-Women-Hakimeh-Honarmandi.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/NCRI-Women-Hakimeh-Honarmandi-150x75.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hakimeh Honarmandi, a 61-year-old political prisoner and laboratory technician, has been detained for over a year in a state of legal limbo at Adelabad Prison in Shiraz.

According to the report, despite the reimposition of sanctions against the Iranian regime in September, British Conservative politicians consider the existing measures to curb the regime\u2019s oil revenues to be insufficient. Priti Patel, a British member of parliament from the opposition Conservative Party and a former UK home secretary, has accused ministers of dragging their feet in confronting threats against Britain by failing to follow the United States\u2019 approach toward vessels carrying Iranian regime oil.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iranfocus.com\/economy\/56405-pressure-mounts-on-uk-government-over-tehrans-shadow-fleet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iran\u2019s Workers Reduced to $83 a Month as Inflation and Poverty Fuel Social Collapse<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-310291 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Iran-Poverty-300x188.jpg\" alt=\"Iran Poverty\" width=\"300\" height=\"188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Iran-Poverty-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Iran-Poverty-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Iran-Poverty-150x94.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Iran-Poverty-696x435.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Iran-Poverty.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Runaway inflation and uncontrolled price hikes are relentlessly shrinking Iranian workers\u2019 livelihoods, pushing millions into poverty and accelerating a broader social breakdown. Recent currency figures and official statistics expose the scale of an economic collapse rooted not in external shocks, but in years of structural mismanagement and destructive policies by Iran\u2019s ruling regime. On Thursday, December 18, the U.S. dollar reached 125,785 tomans on Iran\u2019s currency market. At this exchange rate, the official minimum monthly wage of 10.399 million tomans is worth just $83 per month, or approximately $2.70 per day. This figure starkly illustrates the erosion of real wages and the collapse of purchasing power for Iran\u2019s working class.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/irannewsupdate.com\/news\/economy\/irans-workers-reduced-to-83-a-month-as-inflation-and-poverty-fuel-social-collapse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-news-in-brief-news\/iran-news-in-brief-december-19-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Also, read Iran News in Brief \u2013 December 19, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THIS PAGE WILL BE UPDATED WITH THE LATEST NEWS UPDATE: 03:30 PM CET U.S. Sec Rubio Condemns Executions and Says Tehran &ldquo;Sponsors Terrorism&rdquo; as U.S. Expands Sanctions U.S. Secretary of [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":340673,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[234],"tags":[277],"class_list":["post-340664","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-iran-news-in-brief-news","tag-iran-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
