Authorities have declared public holidays and shut down government offices, banks, and businesses in Tehran to conserve dwindling water and electricity supplies. Citizens are being urged to drastically reduce water consumption, and some are advised to buy water tanks as outages spread. The crisis is compounded by years of drought, mismanagement, and corruption, fueling public anger and protests.
