Iran is facing an unprecedented water crisis as a record-breaking heatwave pushes temperatures above 50°C, depleting reservoirs to their lowest levels in a century. The government has declared public holidays and shut down offices, banks, and businesses in Tehran and other provinces to conserve water and electricity. Authorities are urging citizens to drastically reduce water consumption, with some areas experiencing widespread outages and rationing. The crisis is fueling public anger and protests, as years of drought, mismanagement, and corruption have left the country ill-prepared for extreme climate events. Officials warn that without immediate action, Iran could soon face a complete water shortage with no viable solutions.
