In the midst of ongoing tensions between Iran, Israel, and the United States, fuel has emerged as a critical and sensitive issue for the Iranian state due to its direct implications on transportation and economic activities. Recent attacks targeting oil storage and transportation lines in Tehran and Alborz provinces have resulted in temporary disruptions to the fuel distribution network, leading to significant fires in some facilities and damaging infrastructure related to gasoline supply. These incidents have raised fears about the effectiveness of Iran's fuel supply amid escalating conflict in the region.

In the past few days, fuel depots and storage tanks in and around Tehran have come under attack, resulting in large fires and the release of thick smoke, along with damage to storage facilities and creating additional pressure on the capital's supply and distribution system. The scope of these attacks has targeted oil facilities as part of a strategy to expand the 'target bank', impacting oil storage in Tehran and Karaj cities. Concerns grow over the fires occurring near populated areas, which pose environmental and logistical challenges for local populations.

Despite the extent of the damages reported, authorities maintain that fuel supplies remain under control. They have stated that strategic reserves in storage facilities are adequate to meet current demands, aiming to reassure the public about the stability of fuel supplies amid these turbulent situations. However, the ongoing risk of further attacks continues to loom over Iran's fuel infrastructure, highlighting the fragility of the situation as regional tensions escalate further.
