伊朗正面临严重的汽油短缺危机。该国日均汽油短缺约1500万升，部分加油站将个人购买量限制在约5升，德黑兰西部城市Karaj的居民排队加油需超过45分钟1。这场危机由美国新一轮经济制裁、战争破坏和进口困难共同导致1。
为应对短缺，伊朗官方开始在汽油中添加甲醇作为氧化剂。波斯湾星油公司首席执行官Vahid Ghaneifard确认汽油中甲醇含量约0.5%，处于伊朗国家标准允许的最高3%以下1。然而这一举措引发公众担忧，德黑兰一名居民因汽油质量问题修车花费约10亿里亚尔（约5250美元）1。与此同时，柴油短缺情况更加严峻1。
政府酝酿提高燃油价格以应对这一危机，经济学家Hassan Mansour认为当局正在为能源价格上调做准备1。但这一举措面临重大政治风险——2019年11月的汽油价格上调曾引发全国抗议和致命镇压1。此外，伊朗国家石油公司欠中央银行和商业银行数百亿欧元债务，进一步恶化了财政状况1。
Iran is facing an acute shortage of gasoline and diesel fuel amid new U.S. economic sanctions, war-related damage, and import difficulties. 1 The country is short approximately 15 million liters of gasoline per day, forcing some gas stations to limit individual purchases to around 5 liters. 1 In the western Tehran city of Karaj, residents have reported waiting more than 45 minutes to refuel at petrol stations. 1
Facing supply constraints, Iranian authorities have begun testing methanol as an additive in gasoline. 1 According to Vahid Ghaneifard, chief executive of the Persian Gulf Star oil company, methanol comprises roughly 0.5 percent of the fuel, within Iran's national standard that allows up to 3 percent. 1 However, fuel quality concerns have emerged; one Tehran resident spent approximately 10 billion rials—about $5,250—on car repairs related to fuel issues. 1 Economist Hassan Mansour has suggested the government is preparing for fuel price increases to address the crisis. 1 Such measures carry significant political risk, as a similar price hike in November 2019 triggered nationwide protests and fatal crackdowns. 1 Adding to Iran's fiscal pressure, the National Iranian Oil Company owes hundreds of billions of euros to the central bank and commercial banks. 1
