US EditionSpain and Portugal to jointly probe Iberian blackout
- Spain and Portugal formed a joint committee on Friday to investigate a massive power outage that disrupted the Iberian Peninsula on Monday.

- Spain's Minister Sara Aagesen and Portugal's counterpart Maria da Graca Carvalho pledged to collaborate closely, noting the complexity requires extensive data to identify causes and prevent recurrence.
- The investigation highlights challenges in energy resilience and cybersecurity and signals ongoing efforts to strengthen European grid security amid uncertain threat origins.
