Iran Faces Fuel Shortages as US Pressure Intensifies

Fuel shortages in Iran have led to long lines at gas stations, with citizens waiting hours to refuel. The daily deficit of 14 million liters is attributed to damage to energy facilities and US sanctions. The Iranian government is now considering implementing rationing and raising fuel prices, a move that has previously caused unrest. The situation has worsened as US pressure on Iran continues, with sanctions targeting its energy sector. The 2019 price hikes, which led to hundreds of deaths, are being referenced as a precedent for potential future measures. Tehran has not commented on the current measures, while Washington has not directly addressed the fuel shortages but has maintained its sanctions policy. The crisis highlights the broader impact of US sanctions on Iran's economy and energy sector, with immediate consequences for daily life and public safety.
