Iran faces fuel shortages and queues
The article discusses Iran's fuel crisis, where gas stations in Tehran are experiencing long queues as the fuel shortage worsens. This shortage is due to a deficit estimated at 15 million liters daily against a daily demand of 135 million liters, resulting from the U.S. naval blockade and Israeli strikes that have weakened refining capabilities. As a result, the rial has depreciated, and inflation has reached around 90%. Despite economic pressures, the Iranian parliament has refused to raise fuel prices, raising concerns about a repeat of the 2019 protests. The situation indicates significant challenges in meeting demand and calls for economic reforms, amidst U.S. threats to impose extensive sanctions on Iran if other countries support it.
