One of the biggest oil exporters in the region, a commodity the cost of which continues to rise, and they can’t balance their budgets? Apparently they’re using their petro-dollars to light their Cuban cigars.
I wonder how long it will take the Mullahs to blame the US for this problem... Two hours, one hour and 59 minutes, one hour and 58...
Many excellent observations in posts on other threads. Lots of irony, real deal.
Nobody likes a long line at the gas pumps... remember the ‘70’s? (Do I date myself on this or what?)
I would dearly love to see a “French Revolution” pop up in Iran........Maybe this petrol rationing will be their version of “Let them eat cake!”..........
Bangkok Post? next time use an American Source - I am sure this is being abundantly reported in the states (/ sarcasm off)
Millions spent on uranium enrichment to make bombs and they can’t build one or two refineries to serve their own populace? So what do the people do? Burn down gas stations and loot and rob...smart, real smart.
Burning gas stations. . .yeah, that'll ease the rationing. :::eye roll:::

Aren’t we coming up on some kind of anniversary? July 7th?
WOW! you got me on that. The story must have been cleared for American consumption by CAIR.
IN a few more weeks, they’ll be able to power their vehicles with nuclear energy.
Or camel dung, depending on who’s lying.
That’s about 25 gallons a month. I can’t believe Iranians are driving 30 miles round trip a day. They must be reselling the almost-free gasoline to smugglers (who then move it out of the country for resale), and this rationing is cutting into their income.
They make the South-Central LA thugs look intelligent.
Yes, on Luy 7th, 1980 Sharia Law was introduced in Iran
^^^ Luy = July ^^^
Man I can’t type sometimes.
