In a country with abundant water resources, more than 300 cities and thousands of villages in Iran are currently experiencing severe water shortages. In some areas, people have no access to running water other than tankers that arrive on a regular basis to provide the bare necessities. The irony is that massive floods have also hit many cities, towns, and villages across Iran in recent weeks. This demonstrates the unfortunate reality that the mullahs’ regime and its destructive policies are to blame for Iran’s escalating water crisis.
