A history of destruction: From Khersan to Gotvand The human cost of this looting is staggering. The Khersan 3 project threatens to submerge 124 kilometers of land, displacing over 10,000 people in the Sadat Mahmudi region who have nowhere to go. It will also destroy a historical site containing over 50,000 artifacts worth an estimated $500 million —a figure that exceeds the cost of the dam itself. This destruction follows the pattern of the IRGC's previous catastrophic projects, such as the Gotvand dam. According to the Middle East Forum, the Gotvand dam turned the Karun River into a “permanent saltwater factory,” killing 400,000 palm trees due to salinity. The regime is not managing water; itis systematically destroying 3,000 years of Iranian water management for short-term profit.

This is some pretty fucked up Hydrological shenanigans going on in Iran. Less to do with Climate Change and more 'Mafia Water Theft'
