Mohammad-Sadeq Motamedian said the measure is short-term and will return to normal once conditions stabilize. He attributed the move to an attack by American and Zionist aggressors on several oil depots in Tehran and Alborz provinces.

Motamedian urged residents to refuel only when necessary, use their personal fuel cards, and refrain from requesting emergency station cards. He also encouraged owners of dual-fuel vehicles to use compressed natural gas instead of gasoline, noting that all CNG stations in Tehran and Alborz provinces are operating 24 hours a day.
