Iran faces crises beyond fuel shortages
The article addresses the gasoline shortage crisis in Iran, which has worsened after Washington imposed a new round of economic sanctions on the country. The repercussions are beginning to show in the long lines at fuel stations, sometimes stretching for hours, with some stations closing before serving all waiting customers. Residents and truck drivers are suffering from halted operations, coupled with deteriorating fuel quality due to adulteration with methanol or water, leading to vehicle breakdowns and reports of declining gasoline quality. It is likely that the government is preparing to raise fuel prices, as reports indicate a worsening financial situation for oil companies, along with massive debts. This increases the likelihood that price hikes are part of a plan to boost revenue and reduce consumption, amidst public distrust and resource shortages.
