Fatemeh Mohajerani, a spokeswoman for the 14th government, emphasized: "The gasoline imbalance is a serious issue that has two solutions: importing gasoline and managing consumption."

The CEO of the National Iranian Petroleum Refining and Distribution Company announced an increase in production of 8 million liters of gasoline and 7 million liters of oil and gas during the 14th government.

Mohsen Zanganeh, deputy chairman of the 1404 budget bill consolidation committee, said: "The import of gasoline into the country has not been banned according to the approvals of the consolidation committee."

The most important challenges of energy imbalance, centered on "gasoline", were examined in a meeting of economic experts, and emphasis was placed on governance reform and infrastructure development and modernization.

The Tehran Refinery gasoline production project is underway with 88% progress and will be put into operation in 1404.

The country's officials continue to blame the gasoline deficit crisis on the people and consider high consumption to be the cause of this crisis. But this is despite the fact that Iranian car manufacturers are the main culprits of the gasoline imbalance crisis with the annual production of 1.5 million high-consumption and gasoline-guzzling cars, and so far no government has been able to deal with them.

The spokesman of the stationers' union emphasized that there is no problem in the supply and distribution of gasoline and the work of the fuel stations is being carried out as usual.

The government spokesman said: As has been emphasized many times, people will not be surprised about the increase in the price of gasoline.

The widespread misuse of energy subsidies, especially in the air transport sector, has become a serious problem. Airlines earn huge profits by receiving huge fuel subsidies, and on the other hand, they do not reduce ticket prices. Meanwhile, the government annually pays billions of tomans in fuel subsidies to these companies in order to reduce the cost of air travel for people.

In response to a question about the increase in gasoline prices, Mohajerani said: "No action will be taken before the expert's work."
