US Strikes Cripple Iran's Power Grid as Heatwave Bites

US strikes have knocked 4,200 megawatts from Iran's national grid and damaged over 2,000 network points, according to electricity CEO Mohammad Allahdad. Targets included a Kish Island power plant and distribution networks in Bandar Abbas, Jask, and Chabahar. The outages hit during a severe heatwave, unraveling President Pezeshkian's promise of a blackout-free summer.
