TEHRAN, Iran

Widespread power outages were reported across several areas in Iran on Tuesday following US-Israeli airstrikes in Tehran and the neighbouring Alborz province

According to state-run news agency IRNA, the missile strikes on Monday caused significant damage to the electricity network in parts of Tehran and Alborz.

A resident in Karaj, who did not give her name, told Anadolu that she had to move to her relative's house in Gilan, northern Tehran, after the power outage.

IRNA quoted an official from Iran’s power authority as saying that stating that immediately after the attack, operational teams from the electricity department were dispatched to the impacted sites.

The teams initiated technical and emergency procedures to "assess, secure, and rebuild the damaged parts of the network." Within hours, the compromised sections of the grid were stabilized and brought back online.

Monday’s bombardment heavily targeted Tehran, along with other major cities, including Isfahan and Tabriz, resulting in extensive damage.

According to residents, it was one of the most intense spells of bombings since the war broke out on Feb. 28.

In Tehran, densely populated southern neighbourhoods such as Shahr-e Rey and Karaj were among the hardest hit.

The death toll from the US-Israeli war against Iran, now in its 11th day, has surpassed 1,200, with more than 10,000 injured.
