Owji told Iranian state TV that about 70% of Iran’s petrol stations had been disrupted and suggested outside interference as a possible cause. He later mentioned that 1,650 petrol stations were operational out of the 3,800 supervised by the ministry.

Iran’s state TV news said a group called Gonjeshke Darande or “Predatory Sparrow” had claimed it was behind the disruption. Israeli local media outlets also reported the claim.

“This cyberattack was carried out in a controlled manner to avoid potential damage to emergency services,” the group said in a statement on Telegram.

The digital strike was “in response to the aggression of the Islamic Republic and its proxies in the region”, it added.

Asked about the cyber attacks, Israeli government spokesperson Tal Heinrich told a press briefing on Monday: “We have nothing to say about Iran’s claims.”

Iran’s civil defence agency said it was analyzing all potential causes for the disruptions in its investigation.

Iranian state media reported that the hacker group previously took responsibility for cyberattacks on Iranian petrol stations, rail networks, and steel factories.
