According to reports, people lined up long lines around gas stations in Tehran, the capital of Iran. A gas station worker said that people would go to refuel even before the tanks were empty. Since each car can only be filled with 20 litres of fuel, drivers have to constantly return to gas stations to refuel. The US blockade has caused fuel shortages, causing drivers to panic, indicating that the war is putting increasing pressure on Iran's economy. Iran's national agency, the Energy Optimization Organization, warned that Tehran is facing a “serious” shortage of oil; Iran's current gasoline supply is 15 million liters less than the 135 million liters needed per day. The agency is responsible for managing Iran's oil resources. Other Iranian officials said that the fuel shortage problem is being exacerbated by the subsidy system. Under government subsidies, the price of gasoline is between 15,000 and 50,000 riyals per liter. The government's purchase price, on the other hand, was 1.3 million riyals/litre. Iran's president's office said on Monday that the government intends to reduce the subsidy quota, but a final decision on pricing has yet to be made.
