Breaking news: Following the developments in Tehran, the capital of Iran, the world’s eyes turned to the region. While concerns about the Israel-Hamas conflict spreading to regional countries continue, Israel made a move that escalated tensions. A very harsh response came from Iran after the cyber attack that destroyed fuel stations.
VERY HARD RESPONSE FROM IRAN TO THE CYBER ATTACK!
Iranian Oil Minister Javad Ovci spoke to the press at a gas station on Shariati Street in Tehran.
The Iranian Minister said, “Zionist and US enemies want to cause difficulties and difficulties to the people in this way because they have been hit on other fronts. This conspiracy will be ended immediately.” said.
Reminding that a similar cyber attack had occurred in previous years, Ovci noted that some gas stations operated manually and that the problem was planned to be resolved within a few hours.
ISRAELI COMPUTER PIRATES CLAIMED IT
Iran’s Passive Defense Organization announced that it did not confirm the claim that there was a cyber attack on the internet system used in fuel stations across the country.
Israeli army radio announced that Israeli hackers launched a cyber attack on the fuel supply system in Iran.
GAS STATIONS COLLAPSE
In the statement made by the Iranian Ministry of Petroleum, the public was asked not to go to fuel stations unless it is urgent until the problem is resolved.
Deputy Minister of Petroleum Celil Salari noted that the problem was experienced in 60 percent of gas stations and that the stations provided manual service offline.
STATIONS ARE CLOSED IN THE HEART OF THE CITY
Fuel stations in the capital Tehran are largely closed, and in some stations, gasoline sales are made manually.
The stations on the city’s most crowded Firdevsi, Veliasr and Esedabadi streets are completely closed, and in some streets that are ring roads, the card system is disabled and sales are made manually at market prices.
The stagnation at fuel stations, where there are constant queues, immediately attracts attention.
It seems that security forces have been deployed at almost every fuel station in Tehran to prevent any problems between the public and the station employees due to the outage.
Police forces do not allow the press, especially the foreign press, to take pictures.
While there are claims on social media that the cut in question was carried out to “increase gasoline prices”, the authorities state that they have no plans to increase the price of gasoline and that these claims are unfounded.
