Strikes on Iran’s power plants would also damage regional grids

President Donald Trump’s threat of strikes against Iranian power plants would not only devastate the country but also would impact several regional players.

Destroying Iran’s power plants would disable its electrical grid for months or possibly years. But Iran also supplies several neighbors with electricity. In recent years, the main recipient of Iranian electricity has been Iraq, and as such, it stands to be one of the worst-affected countries if Iran’s power grid is destroyed.
