On May 29, at least 33 government buildings in the Iranian capital, Tehran, were left without electricity.

Axar.az reports that this is not the first case in Iran. Thus, a similar situation is often repeated in major cities of the country - Tehran, Isfahan, Tabriz, Kermanshah, Qazvin, Shiraz and Hamadan. As a result, state exams for school and university students are constantly postponed, important industrial facilities are shut down, and public transport is paralyzed.

The reason for such a deplorable situation is the reduction of water resources and the underdevelopment of hydropower plants.
