Iran Faces Critical Water Crisis Amid Protests and Outages

Iran is grappling with an acute water crisis, with officials warning that Tehran could run out of water within weeks. The Iranian president has stated that the country is on the brink of a dire water situation, exacerbated by severe droughts and rising temperatures. As reservoirs hit historic lows, public anger is mounting, leading to widespread protests over water shortages and government mismanagement. Authorities have called for water conservation amid soaring prices for pumps and increasing power outages, affecting millions in Tehran and beyond. Amidst these challenges, experts suggest that the ongoing crisis may further destabilize the regime, with potential implications for public unrest and governance.
