Iran is facing an unprecedented water crisis as a record-breaking heatwave sends temperatures soaring above 50°C, depleting reservoirs to their lowest levels in a century.
Authorities have shut down government offices, banks, and businesses in Tehran and are urging citizens to drastically reduce water consumption. Years of drought, mismanagement, and corruption have left much of the country with unreliable water and electricity supplies, sparking widespread protests and public outrage. The government is now considering water imports from neighboring countries as the crisis deepens.
Experts and officials warn that without immediate action, Iran could soon face a 'Day Zero' scenario where water runs out completely.
