NCRI – On Friday, more than 300 angry residents gathered outside the city hall to protest two weeks shortage of heating fuel amid freezing winter in Qaemshahr in the northern coastal province of Mazandaran.
In Gorgan the residents gathered outside the state-run gas company to express their anger at the Iranian regime’s officials.
A protester in Gorgan said, "We are living on a sea of gas and oil in Iran but in this unprecedented cold winter our families are suffering from fuel shortage and no body is paying attention to our needs. Even the state gas company is closed."

In Uroumiyeh, northwestern Iran, residents waiting in long lines for fuel, clashed with the SSF over recent gas shortage.  At the same time students staged a sit-in outside the city hall and called for recession of university classes until the crisis is resolved.

Despite enjoying the world’s second largest gas reserves after Russia, Iran frequently suffers from winter gas shortages which is the result of  the mullahs’ regime corruption.
