Iran is running dry—big time. The water reservoirs are nearly empty, down to 14% of capacity, and Tehran’s government is thinking about shutting down state offices for a week because of how bad things are. People are being told to use much less water or face mandatory shut-offs, as whole cities already go without running water for up to two days. The extreme heat (up to 50°C), drought, and decades of terrible planning—using too much water for farming and industry—have finally pushed the country to breaking point. Factories are shutting, jobs are being lost, and experts warn there’s no fast fix.

Gey, honestly, how much more obvious can it get that so-called “experts” and their official claptrap have driven the whole system over the edge? For decades, they ignored the mess, let unsustainable farming suck out the last drop from underground, and now when the whole country’s parched, they suddenly wake up and blame “climate change” to cover their own arses. I tell you what: you don’t fry a whole country’s water supply just with a few dry summers! This is classic mismanagement—befehl von oben, take as much as you want, think about tomorrow never, and then punish normal folk when the pipes run dry!

And then these high-and-mighty politicians threaten folks with water shut-offs while they themselves probably shower twice a day in their government palaces in North Tehran. Now they want outside help, begging for water imports, but you can bet your last Pfennig ordinary Iranians will still be the ones hit hardest. It’s always the same: rich snobs and party hacks get whatever they want, and the rest are told to squeeze another few drops from the cracked tap under 50-degree sun.

This “new idea” of refilling underground water is nothing but Krampf if no one cleans house at the top. It’s all about squeezing the people, never about fixing the rotten system. You watch: if there’s any real solution, it won't come from the jokers in charge or their hand-picked experts, but from folks on the street who’ve had enough of this grundloser Mist.
