Iran issued a harrowing order to its citizens after U.S. strikes allegedly hit the country's power grid.
Iranian citizens were told to turn off their air conditioning during peak hours amid the strain the strikes caused on the country's energy supply.
Tehran's energy ministry said that the power restrictions were necessary "to help ensure a stable electricity supply in the southern provinces, which are currently facing extreme heat and attacks on electricity supply facilities," according to the Daily Mail. It comes after Trump's strange reaction after learning the new Iranian Supreme Leader's sexuality.

Temperatures in the capital were expected to reach well over 100 degrees Fahrenheit on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with highs of 102 degrees over the weekend.
U.S. President Donald Trump ordered the U.S. military to strike Iranian bridges throughout its coastal cities near the Strait of Hormuz, and a report from Iranian state media claims that an American missile struck Qeshm, an island that's home to a hidden "missile city" buried underground.
The U.S. also claims it fired on a ship that was attempting to breach its newly implemented blockade.
Trump has threatened to broaden his campaign against Iran's power plants and bridges lest Tehran return to talks, stating in a Fox News interview that the attacks would intensify by next week.
Iran answered by vowing to hit infrastructure across the region if the U.S. follows through - even asking Yemen's Houthis to prepare to close the Bab el-Mandeb Strait should American forces hit Iran's infrastructure again.
The conflict erupted again on Thursday when Iran targeted Kuwait's drinking water and power plants with drones and missiles - which came as retaliation for the widespread chaos Trump caused throughout Iran from the bridge and airport strikes.
Kuwait is rich in oil, but as a desert nation, its everyday life depends on desalination plants, which produce approximately 90% of the country's drinking water by purifying seawater from the Gulf of Aden.

Authorities said several power-generation units were damaged in the attack.
Iran has targeted Washington's Gulf allies with drone and missile barrages since Trump started the war in late February - but Thursday's attack was the first time Tehran targeted power infrastructure.
Kuwait urged its residents to ration electricity to ease the strain on its damaged national grid.
It comes after a chilling second Trump death threat appeared on an Iranian billboard.
