Paknejad stated that immediate and precise management of fuel supply was
implemented after the attacks. Swift actions by personnel helped prevent
serious fuel shortages in Tehran and northern provinces. He noted that short-,
medium-, and long-term solutions are being developed to fully resolve the
issue.
The minister specifically condemned the second attack, which targeted gas
facilities in Asaluyeh, as a violation of international laws and protocols
aimed at causing hardship for the public.
He acknowledged that the attack on the Asaluyeh gas processing facilities
had a partial impact on production, underscoring the need for careful
management throughout the energy production and consumption chain.
Paknejad appealed to citizens to continue conserving energy, including gas,
electricity, and gasoline, urging them to prioritize optimal consumption.
Regarding fuel availability during the upcoming holidays, the minister
assured that measures are in place to ensure citizens do not face significant
challenges in obtaining fuel, whether traveling or staying in cities.
He indicated that medium- and long-term plans are also being formulated to
optimize fuel management and minimize difficulties for the public.
He reiterated that the enemy’s goal in targeting the populace was to create
hardship, but measures have been taken to manage the situation.
Paknejad confirmed the re-implementation of a 30-liter daily fuel limit per
personal card and a 10-liter limit per station card, noting that these measures
have not posed a significant challenge based on his observations.
