Iran parliament speaker urges citizens to cut petrol use

ISLAMABAD, SEP 1: A top Iranian official called on citizens to curb their petrol consumption on Tuesday, as the country faces difficulty importing enough fuel to meet demand due to a US naval blockade.

“Of course, part of the responsibility for this high consumption does not lie with our people; it lies with our industry,” parliament speaker and top negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said in a televised address.

“But in any case, what is clear is that we need to save gasoline in our consumption.”
