This measure aims to prevent a nationwide blackout, according to the state-run news site Entekhab. The affected provinces include Semnan, Zanjan, Khuzestan, Qom, Bushehr, Markazi, Isfahan, Yazd, Sistan and Baluchestan, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, Kerman, South Khorasan, Lorestan, Qazvin, and Alborz.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The frequent power cuts are part of a broader energy crisis that has been escalating over the years. Residents and businesses across various cities have been severely impacted, with daily life and economic activities disrupted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Tehran, power cuts have been reported daily at noon for at least two hours in certain neighborhoods of District 6 since last Friday. Residential areas in Districts 2 and 5 have also experienced scheduled outages. Suburban residents around Tehran have faced similar issues, with some reporting interruptions in their water supply during the power cuts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A local business owner in Tehran\u2019s market area expressed frustration, stating, &#8220;The power cuts are so frequent that businesses are only able to operate three or four days a week.
