What happened

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf urged the public to reduce petrol consumption in a televised address, saying Iran faced a daily petrol deficit of about 15 million litres and could meet demand from domestic production if consumption were managed. AFP reporting linked the import difficulty to the US naval blockade, while separate reporting documented queues at Tehran filling stations and official discussion of possible subsidy changes. Ghalibaf said industry, rather than households alone, was responsible for part of the high consumption. The conservation appeal and stated deficit are documented official remarks; they do not establish that national stocks are exhausted, that formal rationing has begun or that a specific refinery has shut. The marker represents a nationwide supply-pressure event and is placed at Tehran for display, not at a physical incident site.
