[88080] Iran issues ultimatum to fisheries: Install tracking devices or fuel subsidies will be canceled

A new government ultimatum for Iran's fishing fleet

In a move intended to tighten oversight of the fishing industry, the Iranian Fisheries Organization has instructed boat owners to install tracking devices (GPS) on their vessels within one month. According to a report by آخرین خبر, failure to comply with the new conditions will result in boat owners having to pay a higher price for fuel.

The stated goal of the move, as reported by both آخرین خبر and SNN.ir|خبرگزاری دانشجو, is to "لסנזש واقعی پیمایش و تلاش قایق‌های صیادی" (accurately assess the sailing patterns and actual efforts of fishing boats).

The student news agency SNN.ir, which is affiliated with the official line of the Iranian establishment, confirmed the details of the decision and emphasized that this is an official policy of the organization. The move reflects a government effort to increase transparency in maritime economic activity and prevent the leakage of fuel subsidies, while maintaining tight control over the maritime movements of private sector boats.
