Authorities have declared public holidays and shut down government offices in Tehran and several provinces to conserve resources. The crisis has led to public protests, particularly in cities like Sabzevar, where residents are demanding action over chronic outages. Officials warn that if current trends continue, the country could soon face a complete water shortage with no viable solutions.
The situation is exacerbated by years of mismanagement, drought, and climate change, fueling public anger and distrust in the government.
