Iran has told its citizens to turn off their air conditioning during peak hours as the country's power grid came under strain amid US strikes.

Tehran's energy ministry said that the power restrictions were necessary 'to help ensure a stable electricity supply in the southern provinces, which are currently facing extreme heat and attacks on electricity supply facilities.'

Temperatures in the capital were expected to hit triple digits Friday, with highs of 102F on Saturday and Sunday.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

They're taking the lead from Mandami's 78 request.

Notice that, in Iran, self rationing of AC is accomplished through the bombing of infrastructure.

In the US, it's a self inflicted wound from eco nazis.

If all we’re doing is making them turn up their thermostats then we need to hit them much harder.

Once you have lived with air conditioning—going back to normal summer heat is very very oppressive.

Loss of AC would definitely start a revolution in some countries. We should go ahead and knock out their grid nationwide. But leave it functioning in just one city. Trump can say “Oh, we have pity on one little village” and let the IRCG fat cats setup shop there - then kill them all with one big beautiful bomb.

There is no way to get the natural born nonmuslim Persian to revolt against the IRCG. THeir lazy and like their relatively cushy lifestyles. The only option is to take out the IRG in total.

If the citizens overthrow these mullahs they can have their A/C back! Easier said than done unfortunately.
