Iran’s Taps Are Nearly Empty After five straight years of drought, the country is running dry.

While headlines often focus on Iran’s nuclear
ambitions or its proxy wars, the real existential
threat lies beneath the surface—literally. #Aquifers are collapsing.

Even if the Islamic Republic falls, the next
government will inherit a devastated landscape.
