Abstract

Iran is currently facing fuel shortages and disruptions due to a cold snap, leading to school closures and other public life disruptions. Despite having the world's second-largest reserves of natural gas, Iran struggles to meet its domestic energy needs during harsh winters, prompting the government to launch a campaign urging citizens to conserve energy. The energy crisis has forced authorities to resort to burning highly polluting fuels like mazut to sustain electricity production, resulting in dangerous levels of air pollution in major cities like Tehran.
