Following the controversy within the Iranian government on the issue of the gasoline shortage, Mohammad Bakr Halibaf, the Speaker of the Parliament as well as the Vice President, demanded to "refrain" from addressing this issue.
Muhammad Bakr Ghalibaf said at the beginning of the virtual public meeting on Sunday, November 15, that "recently, some frequent comments on the gasoline issue have caused concern among the people."
Earlier, an official in the oil ministry reported a daily deficit of 10 million liters of gasoline, and the government also raised the price of gasoline in the third quota.
On the other hand, the government spokesman warned in early October that due to the damage to the energy infrastructure during the war, there is a possibility of a gas shortage in the northern districts of the country in the winter.
In this atmosphere, the words of the two vice presidents last week about the shortage of gasoline and changing its distribution method raised doubts about the government's ability to provide the required fuel to citizens.
