Iran's Energy Ministry called on families in the southern provinces to reduce electricity consumption by turning off air conditioners for one hour during peak hours, following damage to power infrastructure in the Bandar Abbas area from US strikes. The ministry said the measure would enable 'better electricity supply' in the region. Southern Iran is experiencing extreme summer heat, with temperatures often reaching 50°C (122°F). The Zioneer has previously reported on widespread power outages, damage to power plants, and planned blackouts across Iran amid ongoing US strikes and infrastructure degradation. The current call for conservation comes as the Islamic Republic faces compounding energy pressures from military damage and soaring demand.
