Mohammad Reza Aref, the first deputy of Pezeshkian, said: "Government managers do not have the right to make personal comments until expert discussions on gasoline consumption management are finalized."

He added: "If anyone violates this directive, they will be dealt with, as expert opinions must first be reviewed and then a final summary must be reached."

He continued: "Officials do not have the right to make personal comments before that, as it should not create unrest or concern in society."

This directive has been issued amid rising rumors about an increase in gasoline prices, changes in quotas, and intensified consumption management policies.

At the same time, the imbalance in gasoline and the gap between domestic consumption and fuel supply capacity have heightened concerns about a potential shortage or increased pressure on the distribution network.

Aref stated that the government is trying to make decisions in a way that does not harm people's livelihoods, but the economic realities of the country and recent developments must also be taken into account.
