The cold wave is intensifying the severe energy crisis in Iran. In a video he published last week, the Iranian president calls on residents to reduce the heating in their homes by at least two degrees, due to the difficulty in supplying electricity to homes. General power outages have become more frequent and schools are closing earlier/not opening at all.
How is it that Iran, a natural resources powerhouse in the energy sector, is unable to provide electricity to its residents?
For decades, the regime neglected the electricity infrastructure (and, for example, invested $30 billion in promoting terrorism in Syria), and now that demand is rising, the networks are unable to cope with the load and are collapsing.
Particularly embarrassing... the energy powerhouse ran out of energy...

That enables users to have much more control over how long people can access what you’re sending them. Given that Russian law enforcement officials are reportedly (via Insider) stopping people in the street and demanding to read their text messages, this could be vital to protect individuals from reprisals. And while money initially moved into stocks in the morning, capital moved out of safe-haven assets. The price of the 10-year Treasury note fell Friday, sending its yield up to 2% from a March closing low of 1.73%. In a message on his Telegram channel recently recounting the episode, Durov wrote: "I lost my company and my home, but would do it again – without hesitation." There was another possible development: Reuters also reported that Ukraine said that Belarus could soon join the invasion of Ukraine. However, the AFP, citing a Pentagon official, said the U.S. hasn’t yet seen evidence that Belarusian troops are in Ukraine.
