TEHRAN- The daily production of gasoline in Iran stands at 105 million liters, Nasser Ashouri, the secretary general of Iran’s Oil Refining Industry Contractors Association (ORICA), announced in a press conference on Monday.

He also announced that the third phase of Persian Gulf Star Refinery will be officially put into operation during this year’s Ten-Day Dawn (February 1-10, marking the victory anniversary of the Islamic Revolution), Tasnim news agency reported.
