As the country's fuel balance has reached a critical point where any disruption could have direct consequences on the daily lives of people, the news about the Persian Gulf Star Refinery being on the privatization list has sparked fresh worries.
A refinery that plays a key role in supplying the country's gasoline and is rightly referred to as the beating heart of fuel production in Iran.
Details of Privatization
According to existing reports, meetings related to the privatization of this complex have been held at the Privatization Organization, and the refinery's name has officially entered the decision-making process.
The concerning point is that this process has begun while the status of debts, currency obligations, and special privileges of the refinery has not been clearly resolved.
It seems that this action, amid a time when the country is facing energy crises, could have serious implications for energy security. Are we witnessing a dangerous game that could affect the daily lives of people?
