The Chief Justice of Hormozgan announced the discovery and acquisition of documents for more than 150 million liters of smuggled fuel in Hormozgan province that had been smuggled in previous years.

The CEO of the National Iranian Petroleum Products Refining and Distribution Company announced a 40 percent increase in the volume of fuel supply operations to power plants in the first 11 months of this year, saying: "The record of delivering 19.5 billion liters of petroleum products and furnace oil to power plants in the 97-year history of the National Iranian Petroleum Products Distribution Company is unparalleled."

The Hormozgan Police Commander announced the discovery of a new fuel theft pipeline in Hormozgan.

The spokesperson for the National Gas Station Owners Association said: Based on the parliament's resolution on the budget law, it is expected that the issue of eliminating the car fuel card and allocating subsidies to individual bank cards will be decided in the first quarter of 1404.

The government spokesman said: "With the measures taken, we will see positive developments in the coming days towards preventing fuel smuggling."

The Minister of Oil said: "We will announce solutions to prevent fuel smuggling and solve this problem in various areas of consumption in the near future."

The significant increase in the production and delivery of liquid fuel in the last four months, with careful and strategic management, has allowed the cold days of this year to pass with a stable supply of power plant fuel, without serious challenges in the country's energy supply.

The spokesman for the Energy Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly stated that strict implementation of the law with serious determination is necessary to reduce fuel smuggling, and said: "It is necessary to take seriously solutions such as smartization and metering in line with the fight against smuggling."

Members of the Energy Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly will review the situation of petroleum product smuggling this week in the presence of the CEO of the National Petroleum Products Refining and Distribution Company.
