Iran Parliament experiences power outage during energy crisis debate

The Iranian Parliament experienced a power outage during a session of the energy commission held on Monday. The outage occurred while officials, including the Deputy Minister of Energy, were discussing the nation's ongoing energy crisis and efforts to stabilize electricity supplies.

Reports indicate that Iran's electrical infrastructure has suffered significant damage, including a reduction in grid capacity and damage to over 2,000 points. Despite previous government assurances that the summer would pass without major disruptions, heatwaves and infrastructure issues have led to widespread daily power cuts.
