Iran Faces Gasoline Shortfall as Naval Blockade Limits Imports

Iran is confronting a growing gasoline shortfall as a naval blockade limits fuel imports and disrupts deliveries. The pressure could force authorities to ration supplies, raise prices, or rely more heavily on domestic production and alternative routes. Consumers and businesses may face longer queues and higher transportation costs if the disruption continues. The situation also threatens to deepen economic difficulties and increase public frustration. Officials have not announced how long the blockade may last or what measures will follow next.
