Khaberni - The Iraqi Ministry of Electricity announced, on Wednesday, a complete power outage in all provinces.
The ministry stated in a statement that "the electrical system shut down entirely across all the Iraqi provinces".
It also added that "an investigation is underway to ascertain the direct causes and efforts are being made to restart the power stations," according to the Iraqi News Agency (INA).
Sudden Drop
A spokesman for the Ministry of Electricity explained that the power outage in Iraq was due to a sudden drop in gas supplies that feed the gas power station in Rumaila, Basra.
He also noted that work is ongoing to restore electricity throughout the country.
The outage comes amid escalating tension in the region due to the ongoing Israeli-American war on Iran for the fifth consecutive day.
