The Iranian authorities have decided to temporarily stop the electricity supply of neighboring countries, including Iraq. "We will bring water and electricity to Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan," said Reza Ardakanian, Minister of Energy of the Islamic Republic of Iran, quoted by international news agencies. This measure is due to the energy and water crisis that hit Iran, explained the minister
. According to experts in the region, Tehran's decision could exacerbate the situation in the southern provinces of Iraq. About a week ago, demonstrations began, especially because of power cuts in the context of the current heat in the region. Launched in Basra, peaceful demonstrations took place today throughout southern Iraq.
The Iraqi authorities put the force structures into combat readiness and declared that they would act against the instigators by using peaceful actions. The resolution of the crisis in the southern provinces is entrusted to a special interministerial commission.
