Ismail Hosseini, a representative of the parliamentary energy commission, emphasized that the attacks affected only four oil storage facilities.
He noted: "These strikes concern only four storage facilities. Thanks to the measures in place and the availability of reserves in other facilities, we do not need to worry about gasoline and energy supplies. Long lines at gas stations are not expected," reports the ILNA agency.
According to statements from Iranian authorities, some infrastructure elements were damaged; however, the country has backup capacity and additional fuel reserves.
