According to the sources, the leaders of the Houthi militias have, as usual, fabricated a crisis in oil derivatives in order to put pressure on the United Nations to intervene and pressure to enter the oil derivatives ships belonging to the companies of the militia leaders, including ships loaded with Iranian oil provided as support from Tehran to the Houthi militias at a value of $ 25 million per month.

The sources added that the oil company, which is under the control of the militias and under the direct guidance of the Houthi leaders, has reduced the number of stations that sell oil to citizens in the capital and obliged them to use only one pump in filling gasoline and threatening the owners of the stations to shut down their stations if they filled more than one pump.

Sources pointed out that the company limited the sale of oil products in specific plants, although the amount they distribute is much greater than the amount distributed by the company to all capital stations in normal circumstances, which caused a contrived crisis.

The journalist Ahmed al-Kibsi quoted in a post on his Facebook page of an official source within the Ministry of Oil to emphasize that there is a crisis derivatives fabricated.

He said that the capital's need for gasoline in the normal days in the range of one million and two hundred thousand liters per day, distributed to eighty-five to ninety-five stations, while much larger quantities of this need was distributed , for example on Saturday, October 5 million and eight hundred thousand liters were distributed to  Thirty-nine stations, while if distributed was to all stations, would not have formed these long queues
