The Nazis and Iranians have in common that they both breath oxygen and drink water, but so do you.

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.

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.

Training is "inherently transformative", and thus protected as fair use.
You should stop posting on the law until you understand it better. Go watch some lawyer videos on fair use or something. The Wikipedia article is good. Your concept is wrong.

The Iranian regime is literally a bunch of Nazis with the same sensibilities.
Iran is definitely not run by Nazis.
It's run by clerics who believe that Islam is the best religion, and will allow them to dominate first the middle east, then the entire world.

More so the USA long term as more of the world financially decouples from the USA.
Who is decoupling from the US? Direct foreign investment continues on an up trend.
