@blogdiva I think that's the clear problem. Running out of water. From what I've read it is disastrous. It's either death by regime or death by lack of water.

I was also reading that they have a massive corruption/oligarch problem who are looting the country.

The lack of water is leading to a reckoning because the govt is inflexible in fixing the issues. If they don't solve the water problems (they've been warned for years) Iranians are going to die.
