Iran's 'water bankruptcy' will weaken regime and nuclear program, UN expert warns President Pezeshkian warns of evacuations without rainfall

Madani, who has long warned of environmental mismanagement in Iran, said the current water crisis across the nation was predictable.

"The water bankruptcy situation was not created overnight," he said. "The house was already on fire, and people like myself had warned the government for years that this situation would emerge."

President Masoud Pezeshkian warned that without rainfall before winter, Tehran could face partial evacuation, according to The Associated Press.

Iran is facing its worst drought in decades, raising fears of evacuations in Tehran while threatening the regime’s stability and nuclear ambitions, according to a leading environmental expert.

Kaveh Madani, Director of the United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment and Health, said Iran’s worsening "water bankruptcy" would impact the country’s ability to function and weaken its position on the global stage.

"This water bankruptcy weakens Iran on the world stage," Madani told Fox News Digital.

"If they want to stick to their ideology and fight with the West, they must use their natural resources and burn them, so if there is no water, there is less resilience and less capacity to resist."

Best case scenario is the average Iranian will blame fake allah and kick him to the curb. Along with the Ayatollahs and their wealthy extended families. The Ayatollahs skim cash off of profitable enterprises in many many ways. They are greedy grifting parasites.

Perhaps the next Muslim country to get the bomb will be an infidel country that goes Muslim?

The UK or perhaps France?

Hopefully it moves the regime along finally, after almost 50 years.

There is no water or environmental mismanagement.

There is the prevailing will of Allah

You are correct. Islam is planet wide headache to all non-believers.

Perhaps they should blame their God. Maybe he is rebuking their mass missile attakcs.

Is any of Iran’s enemies “managing” the rain?

Yes, the Iranians will blame Israel for a lack of rain. May the regime fall ASAP.

You can’t win against God but the leadership doesn’t get that they’re fighting HIM.

Meanwhile, we need to pray for all the Iranian people who hate the regime and the many who are Christians.

Just maybe if the pathetic ayatolahs would invest in infrastructure rather than in potentially being able to murder everyone, they might not have this predicament.

How long before US LIB nitwits want to funnel them money to them because they are somehow “suffering”???

Is it possible that we see the hand of YHWH in the drought of Iran?

I figure many Israelis do think exactly that.

Get rid of those Mullahs and the water will flow again throughout Persia.

Makes an excellent campaign slogan!

Water is a huge issue in a lot of growing countries without infrastructure. Hell, its a huge issue in some US states that are growing rapidly. Countries ignore it at their peril. And “green” deindustrialization policies will only make it worse.

Maybe if Iran wasn’t so intent on spending to build nukes, they could divert that money to converting oil into water. ;)

They have plenty of oil, don’t they?

If not oil into water, then sand into water. Plenty of sand there too. ;)

Which brings me to a question, which Muslims should be asking themselves too...

Whey did Allah place most Muslims in some of the driest land in the world?

They have answered this by invading (legal/illegal immigration-asylum) Europe and breeding like rabbits

Talk about blind ignorance. They could have solved end this 2 years ago by building desalination plants sufficient for saving their population. Sorry folks, the West won’t be saving you.
