Iran’s water crisis is real and deliberately engineered, says climatologist | Eye for Iran | EP 62 |

Taps are dry. Water barely reaches the second floor. Families endure days without water in brutal summer heat—while the Iranian government holds the solution.
In this week's episode of Eye for Iran, climatologist Dr. Nasser Karami exposes how Iran’s water crisis is not just environmental—it’s political. While officials warn that Tehran could run out of water within weeks, Karami explains this is a crisis deliberately engineered by the state to shift the burden of rising costs onto the public.
Iran has water. But in summer—when delivering it is more expensive—the government deliberately limits access while keeping the consumer price unchanged, according to Karami. He calls it an “engineered drought”: a policy of fear and austerity designed to reduce demand without investing in long-term solutions.
Instead of fixing broken infrastructure or reallocating just a fraction of the 90% of national water diverted to military-run agriculture, officials exaggerate shortages to justify inaction. Meanwhile, elite institutions like the Revolutionary Guards enjoy uninterrupted supply, while ordinary Iranians—especially in poorer regions—suffer inequality, forced migration, and ecological collapse.
This is not simply about drought or climate. It's about manipulation, mismanagement, and monetizing scarcity at the public’s expense.
