Iran is in deep shit and about to collapse.....

[ChloeTzang]

Iran is about to run out of water.....and Tehran will likely run out first - Tehran's water reservoirs are at critically low levels with no relief in sight

They've been having a drought for years and the entire country is running dry....

IRAN'S WATER CRISIS: A Nation Running Dry — The True Story Behind the Protests​

Iran is facing one of the most severe water crises in modern history—a crisis fueled by decades of mismanagement, climate change, and geopolitical tensions. Millions of Iranians are thirsting for water and justice as droughts intensify, rivers vanish, and once fertile lands turn to dust. This deep dive unpacks how massive dam projects, wasted agriculture, and regional conflicts have pushed Iran to the brink of a humanitarian and ecological disaster. Can Iran avert Day Zero, or is the future of water in the Middle East already sealed? Watch to understand the full story behind the headlines.

Iran’s Water Crisis Explained: The Water Mafia, Carrying the Sea to the Desert, and More​

Iran is facing one of the worst water crises in the world. From empty dams and sinking cities to the controversial “water mafia” and massive desalination pipelines, the country’s future is on the line. Nearly 90 million people could be affected by extreme water scarcity, food shortages, and even mass migration.

In this video, we explain the roots of the crisis:

Why Iran’s agriculture and industries consume so much water

How failed dam projects and illegal wells fueled the collapse

The hidden role of sanctions, mega projects, and political networks

Why desalination and transporting seawater to the desert may not be the miracle solution

Will Iran’s ambitious mega-projects save the nation—or are they just delaying the inevitable?

If you want to understand how climate change, politics, and mismanagement can destroy a country’s lifeline, this deep dive into Iran’s water crisis is a must-watch.4

28 MILLION Iranians Left WITHOUT FRESH WATER, Water Crisis Facing The People of Iran​

Iran is running out of water. Reservoirs are drying, dams are collapsing, and millions face a future without drinking water. From decades of corruption and mismanagement to the accelerating impact of climate change, this is a man-made disaster now spiraling into protests, bloodshed, and potential war with its neighbors. What happens when a modern nation runs out of its most basic resource?

I saw that and the first thing I thought of was: If only they'd invested their billions in desalination plants instead of funding terror around the globe.

Oh well, FAFO.

Yep - and there really isn't enough time for them to do anything about it. Desalination plants are the obvious, but those take years to build and the capacity would have to be enormous. If they'd put the money they put into nukes into desalination and whatever else makes sense, they could maybe have done it, but now? They're screwed. 90 million people without water doesn't bear thinking about - and there is no way you can ship in that much drinking water, let alone water for anything else. It's going to be a massive public heath crisis on top of dayimg from thisrt - which is quite likely from the spoundsof it - and there's nowhere for even 10 million refugees to go. Iran's going to implode.

That said, this could give Israelsome real leverage for a genuine peace with whatever govt emerges post-collapse, Israel being the experts they are in desalination.

True:

Now do ALL the other areas of the world (including the U.S.) that are facing collapse due to anthropogenic climate change…

Side note:

Too much water is equally as problematic as too little water.



Though the fascist corporate controlled media is obviously de-amplifying news about MASSIVE flooding events / disasters (AND droughts), in the Caribbean, Pakistan, the Philippines, Afghanistan, Brazil, AND the U.S., etc, those anthropogenic climate change related floods ARE contributing to the collapse of various countries’ economies and societies.



Hope that ^ helps.

Should have spent all those billions on water infrastructure..............oh well. Seems they aren't Allah's chosen after all.

Portable units are available, Iran has the space to park a lot of these if they need to. None of them are capable of producing sufficient water, but a daisy chain pumping the fresh water into the reservoir might stave off total collapse while they build a full-on desalination system.

China could build the components ready to install/build. Might take a year+ though to completion and I don't know if Iran could hold out that long with portables.

Instead of drones, rockets and financing Hamass, Hezbolala and Hootie terrorists they should have been building desalinization plants and water lines. Old Allah don't know shit.

 

[latecomer91364]

This is not good news. The people of Iran who want freedom deserve better. I feel for them much more than I do the Hamas loving/Jew hating people of Gaza.

The powerful men running Iran will gladly let the peasants die to save themselves.

As they say in that part of the world; InshAllah. Which roughly translates to; Fuck Around, FIND THE HELL OUT

Desalinization plants produce massive amounts of toxic waste, so Iran would STILL face some massive challenges with that solution…

And STILL there is anthropogenic climate change…

Iran is about to run out of water.

2 weeks?

There's a lot of corruption involved in the allocation of water resources they do have.

 

[ChloeTzang]

2 weeks?

Their President said if no water fall it might be by the end of the year - that really only gives them 6-8 weeks. That's a nightmare scenario - 9-10,000,000 people HAVING to evacuate and where do they go to? In Iran, I have no idea - the whole country is apparently suffering from a severe drought that's lasted for the last 5 years.

I've seen a few articles over the last few years forecasting this kind of scenario in the Middle East based on a combination of factors - too many people for the existing water supplies, over -extraction of goundwater (which is what's been happening in Iran), drought, misuse of existing water supplies, waste, desertification, corruption - Iran looks to have created the Perfect Storm. Its npt just water either, it's electricity generation.

If they're talking running out by the end of the year and they have 10,000,000 people to evacuate and they haven't started, I think they're currently into Inshallah Planning, or lack thereof. It's impossible to truck in water for ten million people and where would they get it from? The rest of Iran is in the same deep shit. That said, they are taking it seriously.

Iran is set to turn off the water in several regions, including Tehran — as the country falls into the grips of its worst drought in decades. In Tehran, they will be be shutting off its water supply on Saturday night due to the mounting crisis which will see the capital dry up. “We are forced to cut off water supply to citizens on some evenings so that reservoirs can refill,” Energy Minister Abbas Alibadi said on state television Saturday.
President Masoud Pezehkian, in an address broadcast Friday, warned that if there is no rain by December, Tehran’s roughly 10 million inhabitants may be forced to evacuate to other parts of the country, according to the outlet. There were no additional announcements explaining when and how those potential mass evacuations would take place. Tehran uses upwards of 790 million gallons of water per day,

Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCC's) hold 84,000,000 gallons - so theoretically a VLCC filled with water could keep Tehran supplied for 3 months. BUT you have to get the water into a VLCC and get it to Iran and then move it inland to Tehran - 700 miles

One of these taker trucks carries about 9000 gallons - so to supply Tehran with drinkiing water - say 10% of the total and thats a wild guess - would take 10,000 tanker trucks. There IS a railway line but how many tankers do they have and the logistics.... if they don't have VLCC's loading up with water NOW, and the infrastructyre in plave to xfer water into trucks / trains or pipelines in place and they don't get there before water runs out.......

As for desalination plants - currentky producing 3% of the country's drinking water.....
https://www.tehrantimes.com/news/475292/75-water-desalination-plants-operating-across-Iran

They're pretty much screwed - from a really cursory reading, it looks like they sleep-walked into this one and left it so late that there's no viable solution in the short or even the medium term. Spent their money on bukes instead of desalination plants and water pipelines.......
