TEHRAN – The chairman of the Iranian Parliament's National Security Committee has strongly denied claims made by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent regarding gasoline shortages in Iran, according to a report by Mehr News Agency published September 20.

Bessent had reportedly claimed that Iranians are forced to wait three to four hours in line for gasoline, a statement the Iranian lawmaker characterized as "baseless lies."

The Mehr News report did not provide additional details on the specific context in which Bessent's remarks were made, nor did it elaborate further on the Iranian official's rebuttal beyond the direct denial.

The exchange reflects ongoing tensions between Iranian officials and US government figures over economic conditions inside Iran, though this report does not include independent verification of either the original claims about gasoline lines or the Iranian committee chairman's denial.
