Iran's deputy energy minister said Monday that the country's power grid is stable and outages in Tehran and Alborz have been resolved, the Tasnim news agency reported. The remarks follow power outages reported Sunday in several parts of Iran, including areas of Tehran and the northern city of Alborz, after US-Israeli attacks targeted electricity infrastructure.
Infrastructure damage
The US and Israel have conducted airstrikes targeting Iranian energy infrastructure since the conflict began on Feb. 28. Israeli media reported that US President Donald Trump announced a five-day pause on strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure earlier this month, though strikes on other targets have continued.
Conflict context
The entire region has been on alert since the US and Israel launched an air offensive on Iran on Feb. 28, killing over 1,340 people according to Iranian authorities, including former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Tehran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries hosting US military assets.

Grid resilience
Iran's announcement of restored power stability comes as the country faces sustained attacks on its energy infrastructure. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has warned that any strike on Iranian infrastructure will trigger immediate "reciprocal" attacks on regional energy grids and desalination plants.
