Iran cuts fuel quota after US-Israel strike on oil depot

Ankara — Iran on Sunday cut the quota for fuel purchases using personal fuel cards in Tehran from 30 litres to 20 litres, following US and Israel strikes on oil depots. According to Iran’s state television, citing Tehran’s governor’s office, attacks on oil depots in Tehran Province and Alborz led to restrictions on fuel purchases at petrol stations in the capital. Under the new policy, the quota for buying fuel using personal cards at petrol stations across Tehran Province is reduced from 30 to 20 litres. US and Israeli forces last Monday targeted oil depots in Tehran and Alborz provinces. Regional tensions have intensified since the US and Israel launched a large-scale attack on Iran on February 28, which has so far been reported to kill more than 1,000 people, including the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, more than 150 schoolgirls, and several senior military officials. Iran has retaliated with a series of large-scale attacks targeting US bases, diplomatic facilities, and military personnel across the region, as well as several cities in Israel. The attacks have continued to escalate. Source: Anadolu
