Crocodiles turn on humans amid Iran water crisis

[Apollon]

Wrong as usual when you comment on topics like these. Just recently, protests were held in Esfahan due to water scarcity, ie in absolute "Persian" heartland. Yazd province, also inhabited by Persian-speakers, has also been affected by water issues.

Proof number 1:

Dried-up river draws Iranians on Isfahan streets to demand its revival

The protesters gathered on the banks and barren riverbed of the Zayandeh Rud River, which has lost almost all its water in recent years.

Esfahan, central Iran, Iran's third largest city and second largest urban agglomeration, Persian-speaking:

Proof number 2:

Iran Daily - Number Seven Thousand Six Hundred and Forty Four - 10 September 2024

And no, Iran does not "kill" peaceful protesters, regardless of their linguistic backgrounds. Moreover, the Islamic Republic does not practice discrimination along linguistic lines. Thirdly, most Iranians are of mixed domestic linguistic descent, ie the Iranian population for the most part cannot be separated into distinct ethno-linguistic to start with anyway.

Kindly refrain from spreading disinformation next time when you are not familiar in the least with the subject matter; thank you. I'll be here to set the record straight anyway.

@Valar @Sainthood101 : you reacted to a comment that genuinely consisted of factual falsehood. I provided hard proof of this right above. You might want to consider, if you're interested in facts, that is.

What you think causes the Problem? Too much water for agriculture? Or lack of rain

I was talking about strictly infras brother and I understand where you coming from it would have been bad if they didn't look somewhat like this.

Besides I am not of the opinion that Iran's infras is complete shxt no that is not true strandard wise it is okay and acceptable but it definitely doesn't have better infras than Turkmenistan and that is that.. I was not saying Iran is India tier that is completely below Sub-sharan tier

Well, I responded on infrastructures. In some sectors, infrastructures in Iran are more extensive and developed than in Turkmenistan. Such as for instance in the number and length of highways / freeways, in urban mass rapid transit networks (metros etc), and so on. This is while Turkmenistan has more than twice of Iran's
revenue from crude oil and gas exports. Hence, it is really Iran that comes out on top in terms of efforts done by the authorities to develop the national infrastructure.

I really hope that the water crisis is resolved in Iran. Their desert provinces are some of the harshest in terms of weather and no matter what we are, water is a fundamental right. I hope that the Iranian government can build some desalination plants and redirect pipeline companies to make large pipes to transport desalinated potable sea water to the arid regions.

No human being should suffer water scarcity.

Best post in thread.

It is an absurd event in itself to make such an issues a subject of contention on the axis of nationality-state. Take a profile picture of one of the people with a water problem there and ask people for guess what country they are from... Most likely, you can't tell if they are Persian, Arab, Turkish or Caucasian etc.. Many types of orientalists can take pleasure in this by presenting the hardships of our peoples as great news. But we are not them, we are neighbors and we will remain neighbors. Some people confusing concepts, and get caught up in daily political fights with overly politized mantality and sow the seeds of enmity between peoples.

Thank you, but the water problem is a serious issue. There has to be a way to ensure that desalination and water cleaning technologies have to be affordable for all countries, regardless of nationality or religion, or politics. Most of the time, it is due to the corruption and ineffective governance of the local leaders who do nothing to manage water resources effectively. This is a problem we have in India as well despite being blessed with several rivers.

Question to you: Is there a way Turkey can provide finance (on a Line-of-Credit commercial basis) to Iran for constructing a desalination and water cleaning plant from the sea? They already have the technology for laying down massive pipelines. This will allow the Iranians to channel water from the Persian Gulf into the plants and convert it into potable water, allowing fields and arid regions to be irrigated.

I ask this because 2-3 years back, India was using Turkish banks to make oil payments to the Iranian oil companies. This means Turkey has a financial mechanism that circumvents the US system, isn't it?

Iranian water problems are in non-Persian zones, so it's not a Iran state problem, if non-Persian people protests, Iran just kill them.
In Tehran there is no water problems.

Why just make a post for the sake of making a post . Since when Isfahan , yazd and qom were considered non Persian .
خوب البته آنهایی که توی قم فکر میکنم قم باید یک کشور جدا باشه و یک پالایشگاه بهشون بدیم خودشان را از ایران جدا میدونند حساب نکردم.

 

[sammuel]

but those are internal iranian problems, iranian society is getting more and more open about criticism on politics, i doubt a journalist would get arrested these days for mocking a mullah (except maybe khamenei) .

I think you know this is nonsense , the little that was left of free journalism in Iran died after 2009.

I doubt any cartoonist would dare mocking a mullah with the likely prospect of being arrested.

Anyway , all the best cartoonists have fled Iran long ago , to places where they can work with out being harrased by the mullah government.

It was the alternative method for breaking the US financial sanctions barrier against Iran. Iran's assets were held in Turkey and it was paid in gold. However, this system was stopped later, and India came out of the system first. The Halkbank case is one of the biggest problems between the USA and Turkey, which the US courts still dont give up.

"in my idea its a wrong policy though, will increase separatism.

IRGC has been ready to handle this. in the 2000s those border areas were very bad for Iran - all kinds of spies being allowed in Jundollah, Jaish ul Adl, Saudi supporting Ahvaz separatists, BUT NOW, let them try it. any major attack, IRGC will do foreign operation, even in Pakistan- anyone who doubts it should test it, but they tested it already, realized how bitter that pill is, and have stopped.

Evry house in Greece has running water. Even most remote villages have internet.

but where would Greece be today, IF THE EU hadnt bailed out Greece years ago when your country was flat broke?

well, Turkey foolishly follows white man, sorry NATO, so whats the issue if Turkey wont learn that when you hold people's money aka Iran's money, and you dont do anythign with it, like the British, something called interest accumulates, and makes that total amount alot larger over long periods, SO GIVE PEOPLE THEIR MONEY BACK.

Btw, Turkey did a good looking out via the Halkbank, but that was the last time Turkey went above and beyond for Iran, TUrkey is back to reassuring ISrael publicly, while 1000 Turkish companies help Israel recover form the beating Hamas gave it earlier this year.

That means any future collaboration with Iranians will have to be done on a barter-based system using shell banking companies in third-party countries.

Iran also needs to mend its approach towards dealing with the world honestly. The problem is that it is picking up fights with everyone, thereby isolating itself. This has resulted in making collaboration projects even more difficult. China is the only country that is currently capable and in a position to help it, even for common civilian projects.

Desalination is a technology that it can acquire from multiple countries but for some weird reason, their government isn't working on this matter at all. No news about dealing with water shortage in a practical way coming out of Iran.

I don't think it is the business of jewy papers and jews of what is going on inside Iran.

There are other countries with worse situation than Iran but i never see you posting about them. Your work is just Iran. Because you get paid for that.

Right, my jewy?

What is Iran's current plan to resolve this water crisis, Dostam?
