Opinion | Hatred of Israel Caused Iran’s Water Crisis

The Wall Street Journal•Sunday, November 16, 2025 at 8:47:00 PM

As noted in recent reports, Iran is facing its worst water crisis in decades, with authorities contemplating evacuations in Tehran due to drought and climate change. The International Atomic Energy Agency's inability to verify Iran's uranium stockpile further complicates the situation, reflecting ongoing tensions with Israel. These interconnected issues underscore the critical need for effective governance and sustainable resource management in the region.
