Reports indicate long queues forming at gas stations across Iran, with the economic situation described as nearing collapse. The extent of the shortages and the government's response remain unclear.
Iranian social media and local reports indicate long queues forming at gas stations in several cities, with the economic situation described as approaching collapse. The reports come amid a deepening fuel crisis that has seen Tehran cancel subsidized gasoline quotas and struggle to import fuel due to the US-led blockade and ongoing war. As The Zioneer has previously reported, similar scenes of long lines were documented in Kerman last month, and anti-regime protests have erupted in Tehran's bazaar over the economic hardship. The scope of the current shortages and the government's ability to address them remain unclear. The situation is developing.
