Ata Hosseinian, an economic and energy journalist, said about the government’s scenarios for managing the shortage of gasoline: «What the Islamic Republic regime is pursuing is rationing gasoline in response to a fuel shortage that has existed since after the war. President Pezeshkian’s government is also waiting for the green light from security institutions so that it can both raise the price of gasoline and implement a new pattern for gasoline rationing and distribution.»
