Power outages were reported Sunday in several parts of Iran, including areas of Tehran and the northern city of Alborz, following US-Israeli attacks on electricity infrastructure.

Disruptions were also reported in parts of the Karaj district west of Tehran, according to Iranian media.

Iran's deputy energy minister, Mostafa Rajabi Mashhadi, said several power transmission substations were hit but electricity in Tehran and Karaj is expected to be restored within hours, adding there is no cause for concern, Tasnim reported.

Efforts are underway to restore service, the state broadcaster IRIB News said, citing the Energy Ministry.

1. So what happened to waiting?

That’s clearly not military targeting. Power plants are civilian infrastructure.
Unless it’s just circuit going to a military base or equipment.

If it’s just a civilian power station they bomb- it’s not supposed to be targeted under the law of war.
That makes it a likely war crime.

2. Maybe the US didn't wait.

Maybe Israel didn't feel bound by Trump's statement.

Maybe it wasn't the intended target or was just very close to the intended target.

Options.
