🔸At the same time as the early start and early end of the plan to sell gasoline at a price of more than 87,000 tomans in Kerman province, videos of long lines forming in front of fuel pumps have been shared across Iran.

🔸The videos showing long lines to buy gasoline—especially in southern cities of Iran—began on Wednesday, 21 Mordad, but even after 24 hours they still continued.

🔸The website Hâl-v-oš that follows news related to Sistan and Baluchestan province reported on Thursday, with the release of a video of “the continuation of long gasoline lines” in Iranshahr.

🔸Earlier, videos from cities such as Bandar Abbas, Bushehr, and Abadan—and even Birjand and Mashhad—were also shared on X, showing that this problem is not limited to the southern provinces of the country.

🔸A shortage of gasoline in Iran—which in the official terminology of the Islamic Republic is described as “imbalance”—has taken on more serious dimensions with the United States Navy’s sea blockade of the country.

🔸This shortage of the strategic commodity, which had long been raised as a recurring warning, has now turned into a “persistent gap” in the country, to the point that in 1404 it reached about 18 million liters per day.
