The Iranian leader Pezeshkian was furious at the sight he witnessed: "Shut them all down."

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian addressed the public in a hall, reacting to the fact that the lights were on while there was sunlight, due to the electricity and natural gas cuts in the country.

PEZESHKIAN'S REACTION TO THE LIGHTS BEING ON

According to Iranian state television, Pezeshkian addressed the public in North Khorasan province. Reacting to the fact that natural gas consumption in the country is 3-4 times higher compared to European countries, Pezeshkian complained about not being able to provide enough natural gas and electricity to factories and homes due to natural gas shortages.

"WHY DID YOU TURN ON THESE LIGHTS?"

During his speech, pointing to the lights in the hall, Pezeshkian said, "Why did you turn on these lights? There is already sunlight here. Why did you turn them on! For example, you have also used too much energy to heat this place. To me, it is very hot. This excessive consumption has become a bad habit for us. Turn them off."

LIGHTS TURNED OFF AFTER WARNING

Pezeshkian pointed out that his country is among the countries with the most energy in the world and asked everyone to conserve energy as much as possible. After President Pezeshkian's warning, the lights in the hall were turned off.

In Iran, in addition to insufficient investment in energy infrastructure due to economic sanctions, negligence in natural gas and electricity consumption is causing difficulties in energy supply. Especially during the winter months, electricity cuts in industrial, agricultural areas, and residential areas lead to economic and social problems.
