Iranian officials should avoid making repeated public statements about gasoline policy because they are worrying people, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said Sunday.

“Gasoline and the energy imbalance are technical and national issues that can be resolved through collective wisdom, expert analysis, sound decisions and public cooperation,” he said in remarks to parliament.

Ghalibaf added that any decision should be made with public support and in a way that places the least burden on people. Officials responsible for the issue should understand its sensitivity and importance, he said, and “strictly avoid repeated positions and comments.”
