Iran state TV: 70% of gas stations affected in suspected cyberattack
Nearly 70% of Iran’s gas stations went out of service following possible sabotage — a reference to cyberattacks, Iranian state TV reports.
The report says a “software problem” caused the irregularity in the gas stations. It urges people not to rush to the stations that were still operational.
State TV quotes a statement by the Oil Ministry as saying more than 30% of gas stations remain in service. The country has some 33,000 gas stations.
An Israel-linked hacker group dubbed “Gonjeshke Darande,” or “predatory sparrow,” claimed the cyberattack.
