As US Forces Knock Out Iranian Power Plants, the IRGC Tells Iranians to be Like the UK and France and Turn Off the AC and Die In the Summer Heat

Trump's bombing them all the way back to modern day Europe.

Iran has told its citizens to turn off their air conditioning during peak hours as the country's power grid came under strain amid US strikes.

Tehran's energy ministry said that the power restrictions were necessary 'to help ensure a stable electricity supply in the southern provinces, which are currently facing extreme heat and attacks on electricity supply facilities.'

Temperatures in the capital were expected to hit triple digits Friday, with highs of 102F on Saturday and Sunday.

Donald Trump ordered the US military to hit Iranian bridges throughout coastal cities along the Strait of Hormuz. A report from Iranian state media claims an American missile struck Qeshm, an island which is home to a hidden 'missile city' buried underground. The US also fired on a ship which was trying to breach the blockade.

Qeshm extends out into the Strait and is, presumably, a key staging area for attacks on shipping. US forces appear to be attempting to bomb all roads and bridges to the island, to cut it off completely.

Just hours prior, Trump directed the US military to hit Iranian bridges throughout coastal cities along the Strait of Hormuz.

Iranian officials reported Thursday explosions in Bandar Abbas and two blasts in Bushehr, home to Iran's largest civilian nuclear plant.

The US said its forces struck Iranian command centers, air defense sites, missile and drone capabilities, and coastal surveillance facilities tied to the battle over the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran hit the power infrastructure of other Gulf states in retaliation.

* Coastal defense systems, air defenses, radar/coastal surveillance sites, missile/drone capabilities, command centers, and maritime/small boat assets.
