Reza Sepahvand, a member of the Energy Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, reported a daily shortage of at least "20 million liters of gasoline" in Iran.

According to Tasnim News Agency, this representative stated that daily gasoline production in Iran is between "110 to 115 million liters" and daily consumption is between "130 to 135 million liters." Sepahvand emphasized that "there is no possibility of increasing production in the short term" and called for serious attention to "fuel consumption management."

Previously, the U.S. Treasury Secretary had stated that Iran would soon face a "gasoline shortage."

Scott Basset, in a brief post on X, wrote: "While the remaining leaders of the Revolutionary Guard are trapped like rats drowning in sewage pipes, thanks to the U.S. maritime blockade, Iran's damaged oil industries are shutting down and halting production. Oil pumping will soon stop." He then concluded his message in a style reminiscent of Donald Trump, with a fully capitalized warning: "THE NEXT STAGE, GASOLINE SHORTAGE IN IRAN!"
