In modern warfare, energy facilities often become important targets because electricity is vital for hospitals, transportation, water supply, factories, and many people's daily lives.

Iran's power system depends heavily on several large power plants, such as the Damavand Power Plant near Tehran, the Shahid Salimi Power Plant in Neka in the north, the Ramin Power Plant in Ahvaz in the south, as well as the Bandar Abbas Power Plant and the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant.

Together, these power plants support the country's electricity supply.

The Damavand Power Plant is especially important. It provides about 3% to 4% of the country's electricity and also helps keep the power grid stable in the central region.

If a large power plant like this suddenly stops working, Tehran and some nearby provinces could quickly experience widespread blackouts.

Hospitals, subways, water supply systems, elevators, and gas stations would all be affected.

For many people, losing electricity is not just a technical problem; it would also make life extremely difficult.

Destroying a power plant in war may take only a short time, but it often takes many years for a country to return to normal life.
