In 1999 The US and NATO knocked out 70% of power plants in Serbia with "soft bombs"

If the power goes out in Iran tonight... maybe the military is planning on using "soft bombs".

Hard to believe they'd destroy them permanently.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphite_bomb

A graphite bomb is intended to be a non-lethal weapon used to disable an electrical grid. The bomb works by spreading a dense cloud of extremely fine, chemically treated carbon filaments over air-insulated high voltage installations like transformers and power lines, causing short-circuits and subsequent disruption of the electricity supply in an area, a region or even an entire small country. The weapon is sometimes referred to as a blackout bomb or soft bomb because its direct effects are largely confined to the targeted electrical power facility, with minimal risk of immediate collateral damage.

1. No. Not really. In fact, not at all

Independent infrastructure damage tallies (like those in the Wikipedia aftermath summary) list 82 bridges damaged and 38 destroyed, out of many more in the country, far short of 70% of all road bridges nationwide.

It’s more accurate to say that NATO caused significant damage to Yugoslavia’s infrastructure, including bridges and power systems, but the specific figures “70% of road bridges” are not reliably documented by objective sources.

3. Objective sources (key word: objective-- that being non-editorial)

6. Serbia is tiny compared to Iran

Iran has >10x the population and is around 20x as large in area.
