The President of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian, stated that Tehran may be forced to relocate due to the acute water crisis and overpopulation, considering the situation in the capital ecologically unsustainable. Authorities are considering relocating the capital, acknowledging that the water problem cannot be solved by expanding the city. The prolonged drought has exacerbated pressure on water resources, and proposed solutions, such as bringing water from the Persian Gulf, are costly and long-term. Experts emphasize that Tehran is not the only city affected by climate change, and relocation is becoming an option for many communities around the world. The Iranian government considers the Makran region as a possible destination, but has not made a final decision. Dr. Bayes Ahmed, a risk science expert, warns that the issue of climate change is global and requires firmer international commitments.
