Iran’s President Pezeshkian is discussing a “limited capacity of electricity from southern Russia” to Iran with Russia’s energy minister, Fars news agency reports.

Iran’s electricity system has incurred heavy damage in the latest round of US strikes, with hits reported at more than 2,000 points on the grid, according to state-run power company Tavanir.

The utility reported a 4,200MW drop in capacity yesterday, citing the summer heat as an additional burden.
