While that is hot, it ain't newsworthy hot. In Texas it's considered normal summer weather. Helps to have A/C.
It is newsworthy hot in both places. The difference is, Iranians are getting some relief from their government instead of having their water breaks rescinded.
Oh no doubt there, fuck Texas. I thought Texas would be hotter, actually. I'm in CA and we're looking at 107 this weekend with some low 100s before and after, which isn't bad compared to the 4-5 days in July when it was north of 110. But we mandate water breaks and so forth, like the big government lovers we are. Again, I'd imagine the availability of AC plays a role, 100+ where I am is mostly fine, but 90 in the bay area where a lot of home don't have AC is a rougher.
Texas is definitely hotter than that. I'm in Central texas, terrible drought right now and we've been seeing consistent 104f days for weeks. I think we had a few days that were 98f but it's been hotter than normal, even if just by a few degrees. My car always registers as 110f or above while driving. It's crazy.
