President Donald Trump threatened to destroy one bridge or power plant for every new munition fired by Iran at shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, bringing forward the potential of the largest electrical system in the Middle East being destroyed.

Slightly over three weeks before the beginning of Operation Epic Fury, Iran’s Tavanir state grid company estimated that its electricity generation capacity reached 98,802 megawatts. This appears to be the peak, not the constant, as Iran’s energy grid has been famous for structural problems stretching back over a decade. Iran Wire reported that the grid typically operates between 60,000 and 70,000 megawatts during peak-demand periods. Rolling blackouts and electrical rationing are common during the hot summer months.
