Abu Saleh, the Israeli intelligence analyst behind the Arabic Desk, reports that Iranian authorities are preparing for a worst-case scenario that includes a total loss of electricity, and are publishing guidelines for the public on how to handle refrigerated food without power.
Abu Saleh, the Israeli intelligence analyst who operates the Arabic Desk, reported Saturday evening that Iranian authorities are preparing for a worst-case scenario that includes a complete loss of electricity, and are issuing public guidelines on how to handle food that requires refrigeration under such conditions.
The report adds to a growing picture of Iranian domestic civil defense preparations. The Zioneer has previously reported on an Iranian parliament member warning the public to prepare for electricity and fuel shortages (July 15), and on opposition channels indicating that the regime ordered data centers to prepare for an internet shutdown in the event of renewed war (July 25). Iranian officials have also threatened retaliation against Israeli and US energy infrastructure if struck, as reported by The Zioneer on July 25.
The guidelines on food preservation suggest that Iranian authorities are taking concrete steps to prepare the public for a scenario where critical infrastructure, including the power grid, is disrupted — a development that aligns with the broader context of elevated US-Israeli-Iranian tensions and the ongoing military and diplomatic standoff.
