Iran's parliament president, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, recently said the country can manage its gasoline needs using the amount it produces domestically. This comes amid challenges in importing fuel, which have been exacerbated by a U.S.-imposed naval blockade that restricts Iran's access to international shipping routes. In a televised address, Ghalibaf urged citizens to conserve gasoline, emphasizing the importance of using fuel efficiently to avoid shortages.
The official, who also played a key role in negotiating the end of the war in the region, highlighted the need for collective responsibility in managing resources. "In any case, what is clear is that we must save gasoline in our consumption," he said, adding that responsible usage could ensure the country meets its fuel needs without relying on imports.
The call for conservation follows reports of rising fuel prices and supply constraints, which have affected both individuals and industries in Iran. The government has been working to address these challenges through domestic production and policy measures aimed at reducing dependency on foreign sources. However, the effectiveness of these strategies remains to be seen as the situation continues to evolve.
