Iran’s energy minister has warned that authorities may reduce water pressure to zero during some nights in Tehran as the city faces a worsening water crisis.
President Masoud Pezeshkian says dam reservoirs supplying the capital have dropped to their lowest levels in 60 years, with some holding less than 10% capacity.
Tehran, home to over nine million people, is enduring its sixth consecutive year of drought, threatening both drinking water supplies and hydroelectric power generation.
