It's my understanding that Iran only has one refinery for all of its POL needs. Iran imports refined fuels to run the country because its one refinery cannot fill all the demand for refined fuel. Knock out this refinery and shutoff the tankers bringing in refined product — Iran screeches to a halt in a very quick time. Even with tankers getting through, Iran could not function without its refinery.

All they gotta do is move to wind, solar and algae. /s

Yeah...Iran taking their oil profits and building oil refinery infrastructure doesn’t seem to be high on the agenda there, rather throw money at nuclear whatever and military toys.

Citizens suffer in the meantime.

Iran has 9 refineries.

They do import gasoline, but it is no longer a majority of the gasoline they use, as it used to be. They use 400 MBPD and import 78 MBPD.
