Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian revealed what he described as major problems in the administration of the capital, Tehran, warning of a "horrific shortage" of water, electricity, gas, and energy throughout the year.

During a meeting of the Tehran Province Planning and Development Council, the Iranian president said that rainfall (during the winter) was scarce, raising the possibility that the country will face a "severe water shortage" in 2026, especially since Tehran relies primarily on rainwater, snowpack, and groundwater.

He added that the current situation in Tehran is no longer livable, and that the capital cannot be supplied with water by tankers.

Iranian officials have previously reported a decline in rainfall of more than 40% compared to the long-term average, in addition to the excessive depletion of groundwater resources, which has led to a crisis of land subsidence, drought, and water shortages.

In this regard, Pezeshkian explained that some areas, such as Varamin, have experienced a 36-centimeter landslide, while emergency sessions are held when landslides reach 3 centimeters in other areas, underscoring the seriousness of the situation as the problem approaches the center of the capital. For his part, Mohammad Aghamiri, head of the Tehran City Council's Construction Committee, warned of a significant risk of landslides in eight districts of the capital, noting that some incidents have already occurred in these areas.

Previous reports indicated that the landslide crisis is affecting vital infrastructure such as airports, with an estimated 14 million people (20% of the population) at risk. Etemad newspaper also warned that 2026 will be an exceptional year for water and energy crises.

Bazeshkian emphasized that the problem cannot be resolved simply by issuing directives or arrests, but rather requires the intervention of specialists, warning that failure to be vigilant could lead to gas being cut off to homes in the winter.
