Fuel shortages in Iran worsen due to sanctions
Iran is facing a severe gasoline shortage due to the U.S. sanctions, military campaigns, and economic measures that have impacted its refining capacity and imports. A report reveals a daily deficit of 15 million liters of gasoline compared to a demand of 135 million liters. This has led to long lines at fuel stations, with a maximum support limit of 20 liters per vehicle. The government is considering revising the pricing system and reducing subsidies, with the possibility of raising gasoline prices to ease the pressure on government resources. However, such a move could provoke protests amid declining purchasing power and inflation rates that have reached around 90%. The increase in fuel prices carries significant economic and social risks, especially given the history of widespread protests in response to previous price hikes.
