*By Shane Galvin | NY Post | November 8, 2025*
Iran is set to turn off the water supply in several regions, including the capital city of Tehran, as the country grapples with its worst drought in decades. The Islamic Republic announced it would be shutting off water on Saturday night due to the mounting crisis, which may even lead officials to contemplate evacuating the capital, Haaretz reported.
“We are forced to cut off water supply to citizens on some evenings so that reservoirs can refill,” Energy Minister Abbas Alibadi said on state television Saturday.
The severe water shortage highlights the growing challenges Iran faces as its reservoirs run dangerously low. The decision to cut off water access during evenings is an attempt to conserve remaining resources and refill reservoirs amid relentless drought conditions.
