Abbas Pazouki, deputy for communications and public information at the office of Mohammad Reza Aref, First Vice President under Masoud Pezeshkian, denied reports attributed to Aref about the government setting a rate of 87,000 tomans. Iranian media had previously published remarks by Aref about setting this rate. According to Iranian media, Aref told reporters on Monday, 26 Mordad that after the fourth gasoline rate was set following expert review and consultations with security agencies and other branches of government, the plan was supposed to be implemented on a trial basis in Kerman, but was halted without coordination with the government. The fourth rate in question is 87,200 tomans. However, Pazouki called reports about Aref’s remarks “fabricated claims by some unofficial channels” on X, and said: “The First Vice President has made no statement or numerical speculation about new gasoline rates.” He added: “Fuel consumption management is still under expert review, and no figure or decision has yet been finalized.” @ VahidOOnLine Fatemeh Mohajerani, the government spokesperson, said on Friday, 30 Mordad that reports attributed to Mohammad Reza Aref, Pezeshkian’s deputy, about setting the price of gasoline at 80,000 tomans were untrue. Mohajerani said this figure had neither been proposed by the First Vice President nor used as a basis for government decision-making. She stressed that if the approach to “fuel consumption management” is finalized, the details will be announced to the public through official, direct channels. @ VahidOOnLine Masoud Pezeshkian said at the general assembly of the “Islamic Association of the Iranian Medical Society”: “Aside from financial constraints and the enemy’s naval blockade, which have disrupted our exports and imports, who said the government should buy gasoline for 130,000 tomans and then sell it for 1,500 tomans?” @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

Tunnels and bridges destroyed in U.S. attacks, shown on a map During recent U.S. attacks, which have focused mainly on southern Iran, several bridges, a tunnel, and a railway junction station in Hormozgan Province were targeted, causing serious damage. The bridges and tunnel are on routes connecting Hormozgan Province to Fars and Kerman provinces, and their destruction brought traffic to a halt on routes from Bandar Abbas toward Shiraz and Kerman Province. The Shahid Mirzaei Tunnel in the Golgah area, on the route from Bandar Abbas toward Hajjiabad, reopened one day after both portals, for inbound and outbound traffic, were destroyed.

As the seventh night of U.S. attacks on Iran came to an end, Islamic Republic officials reported damage to parts of Hormozgan Province’s transportation, water and electricity infrastructure. Local officials said the attacks had temporarily blocked some routes and disrupted services. Ahmad Karami-Asad, head of the Traffic Police of Iran’s Law Enforcement Command, said that following attacks early Saturday, 27 Tir, as well as attacks over the past several days, some routes out of Hormozgan Province toward Fars and Kerman provinces had been temporarily closed. He said the road police and the Road Maintenance and Transportation Organization were working to reopen at least one route. Karami-Asad added that, for now, only one secondary route is open to passenger cars traveling from Bandar Abbas toward Fars and Kerman, while heavy vehicles cannot travel until further notice. The full reopening of the routes depends on the completion of safety inspections and repairs to the damaged infrastructure. The Hormozgan governor’s office also said that attacks last night damaged four locations along the province’s transport routes. According to the statement, the Shahid Mirzaei Tunnel in both directions, the Shur River Bridge on the Bandar Abbas–Sirjan route, and two bridges on the road from the Minab junction toward Rudan were targeted. The governor’s office has asked residents to avoid these routes until further notice. At the same time, Hormozgan’s deputy governor for political, security and social affairs said several missiles struck electricity facilities and desalination pumps at the pier in the village of Bongi, in Jask County. He said water service to several villages was cut off as a result. No official report has yet been released on the extent of the damage or possible casualties.

Hojat Kermani, a lawyer, reported the re-arrest of environmental activists Sepideh Kashani and Hooman Jowkar, who had previously spent years in prison. Kermani told the Emtedad website that security agents went to the couple’s home on Wednesday evening, 10 Tir, seized all their electronic devices, and arrested them. According to the lawyer, security forces also arrested Sepideh Kashani’s sister, Sima Kashani. He added that it is not yet clear which security agency arrested them, and that their families’ concerns have grown because of the upcoming holidays and the closure of the courts. No information has been published about the reason for the couple’s arrest. Sepideh Kashani and Hooman Jowkar are members of the Persian Wildlife Heritage Foundation. They and several other environmental activists were arrested by the IRGC Intelligence Organization in the winter of 1396. Kavous Seyed-Emami, one of those arrested in the case who also held Canadian citizenship, died under suspicious circumstances in Evin Prison just days after his arrest. Some time later, the IRGC Intelligence Organization accused the other detained environmental activists of “espionage” and “cooperation with hostile states.” In letters written during her years in prison, Sepideh Kashani said that while in detention she had been subjected to “the most severe psychological and emotional torture, threats of physical torture and sexual violence,” as well as “death threats.” In one letter, she wrote that interrogators had shown her a “video of Kavous Seyed-Emami’s body” to torture her, and had taken her husband, Hooman Jowkar, to a makeshift gallows to threaten and torture him. After years in prison, Sepideh Kashani and Hooman Jowkar were released in Farvardin 1403 following a pardon. @VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

HRANA reported that Ahmadi, Boshra Mostafavi, and Elna Naeimi were arrested on Saturday, April 25, 2405 [2025], to serve their prison sentences and were transferred to Kerman County Prison. Boshra Mostafavi is currently pregnant. These three citizens had previously been sentenced to four months in prison each by the Seventh Branch of Kerman Province's Court of Appeals. They were tried on May 14, 2404 [2024] on charges of "propaganda in favor of groups or organizations opposed to the Islamic Republic system." Hengaw reported that the appeals court judge, during the case proceedings, addressed these individuals with a discriminatory approach, saying: "You are Baháʼí and in an Islamic country you must pay the price for being Baháʼí." Previously, the Third Branch of Rafsanjan Criminal Court had acquitted these three Baháʼí citizens citing insufficient evidence, but this ruling faced objection from the Rafsanjan prosecutor. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

"Holy shit... Ya Abolfazl!" Islamic Republic government media, including state radio and television, claimed on Friday, April 3rd by releasing images that a US military fighter jet was targeted and shot down in Iranian airspace. Tasnim News Agency, affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards, published images of this aircraft's wreckage. America's CNN says contrary to initial claims by Iranian officials, the published images are of an F-15 fighter jet, not an F-35. The US military has not yet shown any reaction to this news. Meanwhile, a user account attributed to the Islamic Republic Revolutionary Guards' intelligence organization published an image of a pilot's seat after ejection (emergency exit during crash) on Iranian soil. Hours after these reports were published, images of several helicopters and a fuel tanker aircraft were published in Iranian media over the skies of Khuzestan, Kermanshah, and subsequently Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari provinces. Fars News Agency and state radio and television say these helicopters and aircraft entered Iranian airspace for identification and rescue of pilots. Local Islamic Republic officials in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province have asked armed tribesmen and villagers to "target foreign soldiers." @VahidOnline The combination of Holy Shit and Ya Abolfazl tells a story of the complex battlefield situation.
