**The short version**

- Iran's government will implement a new gasoline pricing structure starting Tuesday, September 7.
- Consumers using more than 110 liters per month will face higher prices for the third tier of fuel.
- The price for the first 60 liters will remain at 1,500 Tomans per liter, and the next 50 liters at 3,000 Tomans per liter.
- The price for the third, unsubsidized quota will increase to 10,000 Tomans per liter, with revenue intended to improve citizens' living conditions.

Iran's government announced it will raise gasoline prices for consumers who exceed a monthly limit of 110 liters. The new pricing, effective from Tuesday, September 7, introduces a tiered system. The first 60 liters will continue to be priced at 1,500 Tomans per liter, and an additional 50 liters will cost 3,000 Tomans per liter. The price for fuel consumed beyond these initial 110 liters, considered the third, unsubsidized quota, will increase to 10,000 Tomans per liter. Government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani stated that the revenue generated from this price adjustment will be allocated towards improving the living conditions of citizens. This move follows a previous partial increase in subsidized gasoline prices in December aimed at controlling demand.

## Disagreement on effective date

Reports differ on the exact date the new gasoline prices will take effect. Shafaq News, Jerusalem Post, Free Malaysia Today News, onlarissa.gr, www.ertnews.gr, hathalyoum.net, rador.ro, JDN, The Standard, The Straits Times, BizToc, and Mehr News Agency state the change begins on Tuesday, September 7. However, DigiAto, fararu.com, defapress.ir, inn.ir, asriran.com, and entekhab.ir indicate the implementation date is September 8 or September 17. CNN Brasil does not specify a date.

## What the coverage left out

None of the right-rated digests mention the specific prices for the first 60 liters (1,500 Tomans per liter) or the next 50 liters (3,000 Tomans per liter) that remain unchanged. The centre-rated report from the Jerusalem Post also omits these specific figures for the lower tiers.

## Who covered it

Shares of the 9 covering outlets with a published leaning rating:

## How the sides framed it

### Left

No separate framing summary.

### Centre

- The centre-rated report from the Jerusalem Post led with the government's decision to raise fuel prices for heavy users, linking it to efforts to tackle problems created by war and US economic sanctions. It specified that the price increase would affect consumers exceeding 110 liters per month. The report noted that the government had previously postponed such an increase due to concerns about triggering protests, referencing widespread demonstrations in 2019 over similar issues. It also mentioned that the first and second quotas, totalling 110 liters, would remain unchanged.

### Right

- Right-rated reports from Free Malaysia Today News, Yonhap News Agency, news-pravda.com, The Standard, The Straits Times, and Mehr News Agency focused on Iran raising petrol prices as a consequence of US economic pressure and sanctions. These reports highlighted that the increase targets "large consumers" or "heavy users" who exceed a monthly limit, often mentioning the context of war and sanctions. Some digests noted that Iran has historically had some of the lowest fuel prices globally. The digests from these outlets did not provide specific figures for the price changes or the tiered consumption limits.

**Provisional coverage gap:** left. The watch is not closed, so this is not yet a settled blindspot finding.
