Iran urges citizens to reduce electricity usage after U.S. strikes on energy infrastructure

Iran’s energy ministry has called on citizens to reduce electricity use after the power grid came under strain following the U.S. strikes on energy infrastructure in the south.

The ministry in a statement urged people to switch off air conditioners in peak hours “to help ensure a stable electricity supply in the southern provinces, which are currently facing extreme heat and attacks on electricity supply facilities.”

Kuwait also called on people to ration electricity consumption after reporting an Iranian attack on a power and water plant.
