Long queues, stretching up to a kilometer, have formed at gas stations in Tehran as Iranians stockpile fuel amid rising concerns about shortages. This panic buying follows the United States’ declaration of a renewed “economic isolation” campaign against Iran. Reports indicate a growing fear of fuel scarcity driven by escalating economic pressure. The situation suggests a potential disruption to fuel supplies within the country, prompting citizens to proactively fill their vehicles' tanks and store gasoline. Experts believe the fuel concerns stem from difficulties Iran faces in importing refined petroleum products due to the sanctions. This escalating situation highlights the impact of US policy on everyday life in Iran and raises questions about the country’s economic stability.
