The Tasnim news agency, belonging to the terrorist Quds Force, cited an Iranian regime official saying villages in Fars Province, central Iran, have a population of 1,457,000, of which one third are facing serious water shortage problems.
The population of 750 villages in this province are nearly 502,190 people, meaning one third of the entire rural population of Fars Province, and they are facing serious water shortage problems. In the past all ducts and fountains were adequate sources for the villages, yet recently 50% of these ducts in this province have dried up.
In the past two years under Hassan Rouhani’s tenure no serious measures have been taken to resolve these problems, and in fact these issues have actually intensified.
Furthermore, according to official numbers and admissions by the regime’s own officials the main source of the water shortage crisis is the policies adopted by this regime itself. More than 11 million people have been forced to migrate to the outskirts of large cities and recently Rouhani’s agriculture minister has said if the water crisis continues in Iran this country will soon be very similar to Somalia and 50 million Iranians will be forced to migrate.
