A meeting of the Iranian Parliament's Energy Committee was plunged into darkness on Monday when a sudden blackout hit the parliamentary hall as lawmakers were actively discussing nationwide power cuts.
The incident occurred during a scheduled session attended by the Deputy Minister of Energy alongside senior officials from the country's power industry, who were summoned to report on the state of the national grid.
Iranian media outlets reported that committee members were mid-discussion on the underlying causes of recent blackouts and evaluating strategies for sustainable power generation when the lights unexpectedly went out in the room.
The outage highlights the depth of the power grid challenges currently facing Iran, where frequent and unannounced rolling blackouts have increasingly disrupted residential areas, public infrastructure, and administrative functions.
