Iran President Pezeshkian calls for capital relocation due to drought

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has announced that the country must relocate its capital due to ecological challenges, stating that Iran “no longer has a choice.” Pezeshkian emphasized that the ecological strain has rendered Tehran unsustainable.

The country is currently facing unprecedented levels of drought, which have resulted in significant water shortages, including the complete drying up of major lakes. This situation has left Tehran without adequate water resources.

As previously reported, the ongoing environmental crisis in Iran has raised concerns about the sustainability of its capital city. The call for relocation reflects the urgent need to address the severe impacts of climate change on the region.
