Monday, 10 November 2025 | Web Desk

A severe drought in Iran has led to an acute water shortage, first in the capital Tehran and now in the country’s second-largest city, Mashhad, leaving residents deeply concerned.

According to Iranian news agencies, water reserves in Mashhad have dropped to below 3 percent. The Chief Executive of the city’s water supply company stated that “the water stored in the city’s dams has fallen to less than 3 percent, and managing the remaining supply has now become a matter of necessity.”

Earlier, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian warned that if rainfall does not occur soon, water supply in Tehran may have to be restricted next month. He cautioned, “If the drought continues, we could face a complete lack of water and may be forced to evacuate the city.”
