TEHRAN, — March 30, 2026 : According Source the Israeli Air Force has carried out a targeted operation employing non-destructive “soft-kill” munitions to disrupt electricity supply across parts of Tehran and the nearby city of Karaj, according to reports citing sources within the Israel Defense Forces. The strikes were directed at multiple electrical transmission nodes, including power plants and transformer stations in areas such as the Pirouzi district in eastern Tehran.
Non-Explosive Disruption of Electrical Infrastructure The operation reportedly utilized CBU-94/B “Blackout” cluster munitions equipped with BLU-114/B submunitions. These systems are specifically designed to disable electrical infrastructure without causing physical destruction. Upon deployment, the submunitions dispersed fine conductive aluminum filaments over high-voltage equipment, including transformers, switching stations, and exposed wiring.

Essentially dropping long wire chaff.
Maybe Trump will be announcing (on Passover) that he will part the Strait of Hormuz and allowing ships to pass through (by turning the lights out).
The old ,
“Let’s My People GO!”
Routine.

I Like It.
We should employ a strategy like this for Kharg Island. Something that 100% disables the functioning of oil exports but allows quick recovery if and when there’s an acceptable conclusion to the conflict.

Modern mines.
Maybe that is what he will say tonight. We are sending the present regime back to the Stone Age.
Same stuff we used in the Kosovo War where we defended radical muslims against Christians.
EMP bomb...
They are very effective at shutting down power plants and electrical grids for extended periods of time without causing permanent damage to the major infrastructure.
If we use these bombs we can shut down most of Iran's power generation without totally destroying it's power plant infrastructure.
The effects of EMP without the permanent damage.
“They are very effective at shutting down power plants and electrical grids for extended periods of time without causing permanent damage to the major infrastructure.”
If you limit the major infrastructure to the grid lines and power plants, you are correct.
However, the submunitions dispersed fine conductive aluminum filaments over high-voltage equipment including the transformers and switching stations. Those will be toast and will have to be replaced.
We’re lucky to have them on our side. Hate to be their enemy.
As for the leftists it’s gotta be stupidity. Don’t they remember the pagers?
Bomb Kharg’s mainland pumps.
Done.
Define “permanent damage” - electrical equipment being shut down is causing damage, and damage takes time to repair or replace damaged components, that may or may not be readily available.
“Permanent” becomes relative kinda fast.
It will require additional expense, which Iran will pay for out of the oil exports they have. Instead of buying weapons and surrogate countries, they can use the cash to rebuild their country. Either way would not require US troops, which is desirable.
AMEN!!!
Israel is our greatest ally…
Transformers and switch gear are easy and cheap to replace compared to boilers, turbines and cooling towers.

Those Jews are getting clever.
Turn out the lights, the party’s over
They say that all good things must end
Call it a night, the party’s over
And tomorrow starts the same old thing again
[Verse 1]
What a crazy, crazy party, never seen so many people
Laughing, dancing, look at you, you’re having fun
But look at me I’m almost crying
But that don’t keep her love from dying
Misery, ‘cause for me the party’s over...
