[71397] Military operations and energy infrastructure changes across Iran

Security and energy updates in Iran

According to reports from several Telegram channels affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards, including کانال اخبار سپاه پاسداران and اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری, starting this morning, neutralization operations for unexploded ordnance from the "Ramadan War" will be conducted in the cities of Bandar Abbas and Khorramabad. Authorities have called on the public not to be alarmed by the loud noises that will be heard during the operations, which are expected to continue until the evening hours.

Simultaneously, in the energy sector, the channel آخرین خبر هرمزگان reported on significant changes to the fuel distribution policy in Hormozgan Province. Starting tonight, emergency fuel cards at stations will be disabled for 10 days, while smart monitoring systems and license plate recognition will be implemented to prevent repeated refueling. The Governor of Bandar Abbas, Ahmad Pouya-Far, noted that the move is intended to reduce congestion at gas stations.

Minister of Energy, Abbas Ali-Abadi, addressed the issue in a speech at the opening ceremony of a solar power plant in Saveh, as reported by خبرگزاری ایرنا and SNN.ir|خبرگزاری دانشجو. Ali-Abadi set a goal of 30,000 megawatts of solar energy by the end of the government's term. The minister emphasized that despite some water surpluses, the Tehran and Markazi provinces are in a sensitive situation, and blamed "a lack of wisdom" in setting previous consumption models for the current shortage of electricity and water.

Meanwhile, statements were published by Iranian security officials, including the commander of the Revolutionary Guards in Tehran, who warned of a "painful and severe response" to any hostile action against Iran, as noted in SNN.ir|خبرگزاری دانشجو. Conversely, the opposition channel پیام ایران published content criticizing domestic policy and the executions of political prisoners, under a headline dealing with the "resilience of the Mujahedin."
