Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has urged citizens to reduce electricity and energy use amid mounting pressure on the country’s infrastructure. According to Al Jazeera, citing the semi-official Mehr News Agency, Pezeshkian stated that hostile forces are targeting Iran’s infrastructure to fuel public dissatisfaction and undermine stability.
The president emphasized the importance of managing consumption and adopting simpler habits at home, such as reducing lights from ten to two. He also stressed responsible energy use in current circumstances, which can help withstand external pressures.
Additionally, Pezeshkian commemorated the anniversary of America’s historic defeat in the Tabas Desert on May 5. In a social media statement, he said divine support and assistance had crushed American arrogance, with another Tabas beginning in southern Isfahan as a clear failure for the enemy. The president expressed hope that such defeats serve as lessons for arrogant powers worldwide.
Earlier, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi held an extended meeting with Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in Islamabad to discuss regional developments and bilateral relations.
