Ismail Hosseini, a representative of the parliamentary energy commission, noted that only four storage facilities were affected. He added: "These attacks only impacted four oil storage facilities. Thanks to preemptive measures and the availability of additional reserves, the population should not worry about gasoline and energy supplies. There will be no queues at gas stations," reports the ILNA agency.
According to official information, the damages affected individual elements of the infrastructure, but the country still has backup capacity and additional fuel reserves.
