Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Thursday he instructed the energy minister to cut electricity to government buildings while preserving power for industrial sectors, citing the country's energy crisis. The remarks highlight the deepening strain on Iran's infrastructure amid ongoing economic pressure.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Thursday he ordered the energy minister to cut electricity to government buildings while maintaining supply to industrial sectors, in a move that underscores the severity of Iran's energy crisis. The directive was reported by Iranian Telegram channels.
The statement is the latest in a series of public acknowledgments by Iranian officials of the country's energy difficulties. Over the past weeks, The Zioneer has reported on warnings from parliament members and the president himself about electricity and fuel shortages, as well as the broader economic pressure facing the regime. Pezeshkian has previously described the economy as the primary battlefield in what he termed Iran's 'full-scale war.'
It remains unclear how quickly the directive will be implemented or whether it will be sufficient to alleviate industrial power shortages. The Iranian government has faced growing public frustration over rolling blackouts and fuel rationing amid international sanctions and domestic mismanagement.
