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.
The government has shut down offices, banks, and businesses in Tehran and other regions to conserve energy and water, while urging citizens to drastically limit water use. Years of mismanagement, corruption, and drought have left the country ill-prepared, forcing officials to consider water imports and implement rationing. The crisis has triggered widespread power outages, hazardous air quality, and a surge in public protests against the regime's failures.
Experts and leaders warn that without immediate action, Iran could soon face a complete water shortage with no viable solution.
