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.

The average delivery of diesel to power plants from September to late December shows that the delivery of this product to power generation units has increased by 26 and 37 percent, respectively, compared to the same period in the past two years.

Parliamentary Deputy Pezizkian stated: "If a fuel card is going to be issued, it should be issued to all people and it should be in the name of the person, not the name of the vehicle."

The deputy director of operations for the Tehran Region Oil Pipelines and Telecommunications Company announced that more than 700 million liters of fuel have been transferred to the country's power plants since the beginning of this year.

The smuggling of millions of liters of diesel per day has caused numerous problems in the country, including blackouts and waste of government resources and subsidies.

The director of Naft-Shamal Pipelines and Telecommunications Company announced the company's readiness to supply and safely transport winter fuel from production bases to Mazandaran and Golestan provinces.

The head of research and technology at the National Iranian Petroleum Products Distribution Company emphasized the need to apply artificial intelligence technology in all infrastructures and the country's product distribution chain in order to manage fuel consumption and prevent disruptions and errors, saying: "This company is ready to cooperate with all domestic experts and private companies to build and utilize artificial intelligence technology."
