At least 12 petrol stations have been torched in the Iranian capital, Tehran, after the government announced fuel rationing for private vehicles. Iranians were given only two hours' notice of the move that limits private drivers to 33 gallons of fuel a month. Despite its huge energy reserves, Iran lacks refining capacity and it imports about 40% of its petrol.
The country has a large budget deficit largely caused by fuel subsidies and the inflation rate is estimated at 20-30%.

Inflation at 20-30%? -- HOLY McSHIT. That kind of thing gets politicians booted out of office --- you know -- in a real democracy.
And LMAO @ no refining capacity -- and they don't even have liberal morons stopping them from building refineries -- you know -- like we have in the U.S.

No need to send 1/2 our lawyers over there, they may self destruct on their own. What a great place to send the UN headquarters to along with the ACLU main offices.
