About 70% of outages are triggered by severe weather, and another 20% come from equipment failing on its own

I don't think it's cost effective to harden all equipment to withstand tornadoes.

The thing missing from the story is data. Are the number of outages increasing or decreasing? How many of the outages were due to negligence (apparently less than 10%)?

The only thing worth getting outraged about here is the lack of data.

They don't want to kill the Jews, they want to control Israel. There's a huge difference.

There's a fairly strong Jewish community living in Iran.

In terms of killing power, the IRGC has the guns. But the only reason anyone follows them is because they have a cleric at the top, even if that cleric is bad or doesn't make decisions. In this way they are similar to Japan in WW2. In fact, Japanese commentators have made the comparison between modern day Iran and Japan during the Pacific War.
