Tehran’s water crisis exposes catastrophic Iranian misrule, collapsing while regime funds terror against Israel abroad.
In a stunning admission of national collapse, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian warned Thursday that Tehran is no longer viable as Iran’s capital, citing catastrophic water shortages, sinking land, and decades of mismanagement by the regime. Speaking in Qazvin, Pezeshkian declared that relocating the capital is no longer a policy option but “an obligation.”
The president conceded that even when officials first proposed abandoning Tehran, the regime lacked the budget to attempt the move — a staggering confession from a government that has poured billions into Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and global terror operations while leaving its own citizens without water.
A Capital City Physically Sinking Into the Ground
Pezeshkian revealed an alarming reality:
- Some districts of Tehran are sinking up to 30 centimeters a year
- Water supplies are collapsing
- Construction abuses and decades of institutional mismanagement have pushed the city to the brink
“This means disaster,” he warned, describing a looming “dark future” if the regime fails to act. He acknowledged that ignoring environmental warning signs is “signing our own destruction.”
This is the most direct admission yet that Iran’s environmental collapse has become irreversible, accelerated by its leaders’ obsession with regional aggression rather than domestic survival.
Iran Eyes Makran as New Capital — Despite Its Own Problems
Iran is reportedly considering relocating the capital to Makran, along the southern coast facing the Gulf of Oman. The site offers access to the Indian Ocean and potential long-term development, but critics note:
- The region is severely underdeveloped
- Infrastructure is nowhere near capable of sustaining a capital
- Costs would be astronomical
- Iran’s economy is already crippled by sanctions and corruption
The only reason the relocation hasn’t already happened, officials admit, is lack of money — despite Iran’s massive financial support for foreign terror networks.
The Regime’s Priorities Laid Bare
As Iran’s cities dry, crack, and sink, the regime continues investing in nuclear development, regional proxy wars, and anti-Israel aggression. Meanwhile, ordinary Iranians are left with:
- Empty reservoirs
- Toxic air
- Flood-prone winters
- Earthquake risks in Tehran
- Infrastructure decades behind modern standards
The contrast highlights a fundamental truth:
Iran’s rulers have prioritized exporting chaos over maintaining a functioning nation.
Pezeshkian’s remarks expose just how close Iran has drifted toward environmental and economic collapse — a crisis entirely self-inflicted by the same regime that threatens Israel while failing its own people.
