On Sunday, November 3, Mohammad Bakr Khalibaf, the chairman of the Islamic Council, asked the people of Iran to reduce gas consumption by at least 10% in order to prevent gas shortages this coming winter. In a video published by a media outlet in Iran, Kalibaf said that in order to get through the coming winter, a nationwide effort is needed to reduce gas consumption. He also announced that people who save on gas consumption will immediately receive an amount in their bank account in proportion to the amount of savings, so the impact of this action on household expenses is clear. Although it has large resources of natural gas, Iran has been facing a shortage of gas for many years, especially for supplying heating in the cold season. As winter approaches, concerns about gas supplies have increased.

In winter, the air temperature in parts of Iran, especially in the northern regions, often reaches below zero degrees, and gas supply for heating becomes one of the main needs of households.
