Iran War: Hamster buying in Tehran: Long lines at gas stations
In the Iranian capital Tehran, motorists are suddenly waiting for petrol at 2:00 am. The government is dismissing the concerns.
Long queues have formed outside petrol stations in Tehran, Iran, due to fears of shortages. Residents reported waiting in line overnight, with some queues stretching over a kilometer. President Massud Peseschkian acknowledged problems caused by the war with the US and Israel, which began in late February, and called on the government and public to be frugal with fuel.
A record amount of petrol was sold in Tehran on Monday, leading to some stations running out of fuel and temporarily closing. The government has stated it is prepared for all scenarios and that there will be no "sudden shock," with no changes to fuel quotas for now.
