Not just US strike, Iran is facing a much larger existential threat due to water crisis after six drought years

Iran is grappling with a severe water crisis exacerbated by six consecutive years of drought and poor management, posing a significant threat to its stability. As the country's reservoirs near depletion, the Iranian government is considering drastic measures, including potentially relocating its capital. This looming water scarcity crisis is overshadowing external threats, such as the possibility of military action from the United States. Experts warn that the ongoing water shortages could lead to widespread unrest and a humanitarian crisis, compounding the challenges faced by the Iranian regime. The situation highlights the urgent need for effective water management and sustainable practices to address the environmental issues plaguing the region. With both environmental and geopolitical pressures mounting, Iran's future stability hangs in the balance.
