Iran is currently experiencing one of the worst droughts in its history. The government claims that is due to the decrease in rainfalls, however, according to environmental experts, it all points to the mullahs’ management of the natural resources.
The People’s Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI / MEK Iran), and the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), reported that Iran is taking groundwater indiscriminately at a rate of 70% higher than the rest of the world.
As a result, it has developed into the world’s worst subsidence country. The leadership, on the other hand, continues to assert that the country lacks the capacity to store water.
The Ministry of Water and Electricity, as well as the Ministry of Energy, used rudimentary methods to deliver enough water to the population, with the support of MPs and their nonsensical plans.
Thousands of wells and dams were erected around the country by the regime, disrupting the natural equilibrium of the surrounding ecosystems.
After forty years of destruction, there is no water for agriculture, and the majority of farmers are immigrating to the cities, disturbing the demographic balance and overloading cities.
La situation est explosive en #Iran. Il y a peu, les fermiers et les habitants d’Ispahan, puis de Shahrekord ont organisé des manifestations massives contre la pénurie d’#eau. Le peuple iranien veut le renversement de ce régime et une société libre et démocratique. #IranProtests pic.twitter.com/Ux3Jep1yHi

Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the NCRI, praised the honorable people of Shahrekord for rising up in the aftermath of Isfahan’s protests against the regime’s water looting. From Khuzestan to Isfahan and Shahrekord, the Iranian people stand up, she remarked. They refuse to live under the burden of the mullahs, who have robbed them of their water and air. The only way out is to abolish the oppressive regime of the mullahs.
