Videos circulating from the Iranian city of Piranshahr show long queues at gas stations, with reports of similar lines across Iran, particularly in the south. The shortages appear linked to US strikes on Iranian infrastructure and public concern over renewed hostilities, according to unverified reports.
New footage published on Tuesday shows vehicles lining up for fuel at a gas station in the Iranian city of Piranshahr, near the Iraqi border. According to reports, long queues at gas stations have been reported across Iran in recent days, particularly in the south, amid the impact of US-led strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure and public fear of renewed fighting.
The Zioneer has previously reported on fuel shortages in Iran, including queues in Kerman and other cities, as the country's energy infrastructure faces mounting pressure. The Iranian currency has also collapsed and inflation has accelerated, compounding the economic strain. The extent of the current shortage and its specific causes remain unconfirmed.
