Fuel Station Spokesperson: Fourth Gasoline Price Tier Is a Proposal, Not Government Policy

Reza Navaz, spokesperson for Iran's fuel station operators, said on Friday, November 6, 2026, that a fourth gasoline price tier was only the operators' proposal for discussion, not an approved policy; no implementation decision, price or quota has been set. He said the aim was to leave a way to refuel for motorists needing extra fuel, especially while travelling or when station cards are unavailable, rather than to encourage higher consumption or raise government revenue.

Navaz estimated that about 8% of people might need the proposed tier once or more each month while 92% would continue using existing tiers. These are an industry spokesperson's estimates, not results from an implemented policy. He said station operators cannot decide prices or quotas, and no possible rate has been announced.
