Iran's attorney general announced that the government has stopped subsidy payments to roughly 300 regime opponents living abroad. The payments, part of a broad subsidy system that covers nearly all Iranian citizens, had continued to reach opponents abroad despite the regime's hostility, highlighting the inefficiency of the mechanism, according to the report.
Iran's attorney general announced on Wednesday that the government has cut subsidy payments to approximately 300 regime opponents residing abroad. The report, from an Iranian media outlet, noted that the payments were part of a broad system that covers nearly all citizens, but the amounts have become negligible due to the collapse of the rial. The symbolic step comes as Tehran faces severe economic pressure, including the impact of the ongoing war and blockade, as The Zioneer has reported. The Zioneer previously reported on Iran canceling its subsidized gasoline quota in June as fuel shortages mounted.
