Tehran, March 8: In response to recent attacks on oil facilities in Tehran, the administration has decided to reduce the fuel quota for citizens. According to the Fars News Agency, the governor of Tehran province has requested that the personal fuel quota be decreased from 30 liters (7.9 gallons) per day to 20 liters (5.2 gallons).
Officials assured the public that there is no need for concern regarding fuel supply disruptions, promising that the situation would be resolved soon. They indicated that this measure would be temporary and that the fuel quota would be restored within two to three days once normalcy is achieved.
Following the attacks, flames were seen raging at the oil facilities for hours. Numerous videos and images have gone viral on social media, showing the skies over Iran’s capital shrouded in smoke shortly after the incidents.
A representative from state television reported that U.S.-Israeli forces targeted five oil facilities around the capital overnight, resulting in four fatalities.
Additionally, the Iranian Red Crescent Society has issued a warning about toxic rain following explosions at the oil plants. The organization has advised the public to exercise caution, stating that such rain could cause chemical burns on the skin and damage to the lungs.
As the military conflict enters its ninth day, Israeli media outlet Ynet has reported that 30 Iranian fuel tanks and three oil depots have been targeted.
In retaliation, Iran has also launched attacks on five countries. Besides Israel, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates were also targeted. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran has claimed that they are prepared to engage in warfare against the U.S. and Israel for up to six months.
