Ghaempanah further referred to the importance of monitoring the fuel market and preventing smuggling. He said: "We need to reach a comprehensive and effective solution in this area, and these statements serve as a proposal for further examination." These statements come at a time when gasoline prices in global markets are rising, and some analysts believe this may impact the government's future decision-making.
The Executive Deputy of the President emphasized that this idea could be considered as one of the ways to combat fuel smuggling, but currently, there is no plan for its implementation. He also pointed out the necessity of synergy with other governmental institutions for controlling and monitoring the fuel market, stating: "As a government, we must develop effective solutions in this area to prevent smuggling."
Ultimately, based on Ghaempanah's statements, it seems that the government is focusing more on preventive measures regarding fuel smuggling, and on the other hand, the price of gasoline will remain at its current level for now. This issue could be seen as a turning point in the government's future policies in the energy and fuel sector.
