Videos circulating from the Iranian city of Kerman show long queues at a gas station, indicating fuel shortages. The reports come as Iran's energy infrastructure has faced mounting pressure from US-led and Israeli strikes in recent days. The scope and cause of the shortages are not yet clear.
Unverified footage circulating on Iranian Telegram channels shows a long line of vehicles waiting at a gas station in Kerman, a city in southeastern Iran. The video, which the channel presenting it describes as showing 'long queues for fuel in Iran,' is one of several viral clips emerging from Iran in recent days as its energy sector faces severe disruption.
Over the past 48 hours, The Zioneer has tracked multiple reports of Israeli and US strikes on Iranian oil and petrochemical infrastructure, including an attack on the Asaluyeh petrochemical complex and a reported closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran. While the connection between the military pressure and local fuel shortages has not been officially confirmed, the footage aligns with widespread concern over Iran's refining and distribution capacity under sustained attack.
