Iran Parliament Speaker Urges Citizens to Cut Petrol Use

A top Iranian official called on citizens to curb their petrol consumption on Tuesday, as the country faces difficulty importing enough fuel to meet demand due to a US naval blockade. "Of course, part of the responsibility for this high consumption does not lie with our people; it lies with our industry," parliament speaker and top negotiator Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf said in a televised address. "But in any case, what is clear is that we need to save gasoline in our consumption."
