Following the invitation by President Massoud Pezeshkian and Oil Minister Mohsen Paknejad, various officials issued statements, urging citizens to join the initiative aimed at reducing energy consumption and ensuring adequate winter fuel supplies.

Government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani highlighted the early arrival of a colder-than-usual winter, stating: "To reduce air pollution, manage winter fuel supplies, and keep industries running, we must collectively maintain indoor temperatures at 20 degrees Celsius."

She added, "I ask all compatriots to join the '2 Degrees Less' campaign. Lowering the thermostat by just one degree saves approximately 25 million cubic meters of gas daily, which equals the output of one phase of the South Pars gas field."

Roads and Urban Development Minister Farzaneh Sadeq-Malvajerd noted optimistic precipitation reports from the Iran Meteorological Organization but stressed the importance of fuel resource management as colder weather approaches.

She said: "Iranians have always shown remarkable cooperation in critical moments, and we again rely on their support to reduce fuel consumption."

Sadeq-Malvajerd emphasized that reducing heating levels by just two degrees Celsius in workplaces and homes could significantly impact energy management.

"Our country’s greatest achievements have been made possible through public collaboration," she said. "This winter, alongside the joy of snow and rain, we can ensure energy reserves for the coming days."

Shina Ansari, the head of the Department of the Environment also endorsed the campaign on social media, writing: "The message of the '2 Degrees Less' campaign is clear: with collective effort and a small reduction in heating usage, we can achieve stable gas supplies, reduce air pollution, and prevent power outages."
