Hmm, I don't know much Farsi (but I can sound it out), the billboard in the article doesn't say anything about Khamenei, Google translates it as "free gas at the Jamaran gas station"... I'd think the Times would have someone on staff who could have checked that.
Your translation is correct. This billboard is a reference to the home of former ayatollah Khomeini. Regardless, the hackers are trying to point the finger at the clerics.
> Most Iran gas stations still offline three days after cyberattack
What they really mean is some people can't get the cheap fuel they are allocated each month (as they mention in the article)
That is disruptive, it hurts the economy, but there is no fuel shortage, you want it you can get it, for some people it just costs more than usual (for 3 days). If this was a time of war no one would care, your tanks and logistics can all still fuel up.
