I feel that that is a matter of the interpretation of the first part of Regulation 6.1, which reads in full:

"A federation that is six months in arrears shall not receive services from the Secretariat and cannot bid for or organize any FIDE event."

The Federations in question have been told that they won't be able to submit FIDE Rating Reports, although they are being allowed an additional three months grace in this regard.

This seems to me to be appropriate, as it withdraws a service from the Federation rather than from individual players.

Are they indeed? My federation would of course have no information about that.

Iran is back on the naughty list.

You can easily check this yourself, but only your federation can tell you why they are not paying their debts.

I think they said they were to pay off the debt in 3 installments

Presumably, the instalments have failed to appear.
