Long queues at gas stations across Iran persist into the night, according to journalist Chananel Aviv. The report follows earlier footage of similar lines in Tehran and other cities amid ongoing fuel shortages tied to US strikes on Iranian infrastructure.
Journalist Chananel Aviv reports that fuel queues across Iran continue into the night, early Sunday morning, as persistent demand strains already limited supply.
The development extends a series of reports from Saturday evening. At 18:47 Jerusalem, unverified reports described massive queues at gas stations across Iran, with residents reportedly attempting to refuel and evacuate from military areas. Shortly afterward, security analyst Yair Goldblatt reported that Iranian citizens were flocking to gas stations amid fears of an imminent threat. The Iranian opposition then reported particularly long lines and fuel shortages at some stations in the capital Tehran, according to Aviv. The Zioneer subsequently published that report at 21:53 Jerusalem.
The fuel shortages are driven by ongoing US airstrikes on Iranian energy infrastructure, which have targeted oil refineries, air defenses, and military hubs across the country, as The Zioneer has reported over the past weeks. Public anxiety over potential renewed hostilities has further fueled demand.
The reports remain unverified by independent sources. The extent of the shortages and the duration of the queues have not been independently confirmed, and the cause of the sustained overnight lines remains unclear.
