Smoke rises from buildings in Tehran following Israeli strikes last night
Iran has restored electricity across Tehran and nearby areas after strikes damaged power grids and briefly disrupted supply, the deputy energy minister has said.
Israel’s military said it had launched over 140 air strikes on central and western Iran, including Tehran, over the 24 hours to Sunday evening, hitting ballistic missile launch sites and storage facilities, among other targets.
Iranian state media reported strikes had hit Mehrabad airport and a petrochemical plant in the northern city of Tabriz.
‘Following last night’s enemy attack, the power grid in the provinces of Alborz and Tehran sustained damage and was affected,’ said Mostafa Rajabi-Mashhadi in an interview with state television.
‘The power network across Iran’s national electricity grid is stable; in Tehran and Alborz the problems have also been resolved,’ he added.
