by

Factcheck: Yes, confirmed. Iraq’s Electricity Ministry announced a full nationwide blackout today, with the power grid shutting down across all provinces due to a technical fault—a sudden drop in gas supply to the Rumaila plant in Basra (losing ~1,900 MW). Restoration efforts are underway, per Reuters, AFP, and local reports. No confirmed attacks.
