Iran on the Brink: Historic Water Crisis and Heatwave Push Nation Toward 'Day Zero'

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 declared public holidays and shut down offices in Tehran to conserve dwindling water and electricity supplies. Authorities are urging citizens to drastically reduce water usage, and some regions are experiencing water rationing and outages. The crisis is compounded by years of drought, mismanagement, and corruption, fueling public anger and protests.

Officials warn that without immediate action, Iran could soon face a complete water shortage with no viable solutions.
