In Northern Israel, constant missile and rocket attacks by Hezbollah led to the mass evacuation of more than 70,000 Israelis from their homes in 2024 and to the inevitable military retaliation by the Israel Defense Forces, as they crossed the border into Southern Lebanon. Israeli missiles are raining down on key Hezbollah targets in Beirut. The assassination of Hezbollah’s terrorist leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut, a seismic event, shattered his close friend and ally Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader and Hezbollah’s main sponsor.

Iran gas prices increase, authorities launch rationing + Videos

Iran, May 2, 2019 – Iran’s state media reported on Wednesday that the ruling clerical regime is planning to increase the price of gasoline beginning Thursday and assign gas rations for each car.

The price of each liter of government-rationed gasoline would be 10,000 rials (about 22 cents/liter official rate) with 60 liters ration per car each month, According to reports. The price of gas without ration would run 25,000 rials(about 55 cents/liter official rate). The price of premium gas would be 30,000 rials (about 66 cents/liter official rate).
Following this announcement, car owners rushed to the gas stations to purchase as much gas as they could before the new regulation comes into effect, and long queues were formed at each gas station in a matter of minutes in most major cities and towns.

Following this announcement and subsequent protests and crisis in the making, on Wednesday the clerical regime backed away from its earlier announcement of increasing the price of gasoline and rationing it. Fearing this would turn into an excuse for the people who are already fed up of the regime’s destructive policies and turn this crisis into an anti-regime protest, the clerical regime hastily backed away from implementing the new price quote and rationing. Officials are now saying the effective date of the implementation would not be on Thursday and that the new date would be announced in a later date.
