Iran’s Energy Minister Abbas Aliabadi says efforts are currently aimed at stopping power outages but warned there will be occasions when blackouts cannot be avoided.
– The capital Tehran also faces a shortage of water resources, Aliabadi added.
– Days before the outbreak of the US-Israel war on Iran in February, Aliabadi promised a summer without electricity disruptions, however, a severe heatwave and ongoing strikes thwarted the pledge.
– In July, local media reported US attacks on a power plant on Kish Island and severe damage to distribution networks in Bandar Abbas, Jask, and Chabahar compounded technical failures driven by the extreme heat.
