Tehran: Reports indicate that the United States has carried out attacks targeting Iran’s power infrastructure, briefly causing outages in parts of Tehran. However, Iranian authorities say electricity was restored within a few hours.
The development has heightened concerns over a possible escalation in tensions between the US and Iran, with speculation growing about broader military action.
US President Donald Trump has made strong statements regarding Iran’s oil assets, including claims about controlling key facilities such as Kharg Island. Reports suggest that Washington is considering multiple options, including a potential extended presence in the region.
At the same time, diplomatic efforts appear to be ongoing. Trump stated that both direct and indirect talks are underway, with progress being made through intermediaries such as Pakistan. He also claimed that Iran has agreed to several proposals, though these claims have not been independently confirmed.
In response to the rising tensions, several US-affiliated universities in the Middle East have shifted to online learning as a precaution.
The situation remains fluid, with both military developments and diplomatic efforts unfolding simultaneously.
