The widespread electricity blackouts the spark protests across Iran this week and are threatening to plunge the country into chaos, appear to have dealt a blow to the Islamic republic's regional plans, as the regime's official countdown to Israel's annihilation has also come to a stop.

The countdown, displayed on an electronic billboard in the heart of Tehran since 2017, predicts the demise of the Jewish state in 2040, some 92 years after its inception.

At the billboard needs electricity to operate, it, too, has stopped working.

Amused social media users posted photos of the dark screen, quipping about its effects on Iran's master plan.

"Israel just got a few more hours to exist," one Twitter user wrote. "Who has the energy to topple the Zionist entity in this heat?" another wondered.

Another user posted a link to an old blog post suggesting Israel's Mossad intelligence agency "keeps resetting" the countdown.

On a more serious tone, Iran's ISNA news agency quoted the Iranian Ambassador to Baku Seyyed Abbas Mousavi as blaming Israel for all that ails the Middle East.

"Our region plunged into war and darkness only after the invention of the Zionist regime. It won't take too long until the region, once again, witnesses peace, light, prosperity and peaceful coexistence of all nations," Mousavi wrote on his official Twitter account on Tuesday.
