Iran president says capital move now a necessity as water crisis deepens (iranintl.com)

Wow. The future of living in a barren rock is getting here fast fast fast

And why?

Climate change (no rain) but especially bad water mgt.

Land subsiding by 30cm per day? That sounds pretty intense. Your whole door would be underground in a few days

> country "no longer has a choice"

I bet it had a couple of choices before this point. The government made all those choices as they came. Now it's being made for them.

I feel sorry for the people of Tehran.

I wonder how soon every other place is due. Sooner or later the same choice will be made for all of us.

So they can’t make a water pipeline from the gulf because it’s costly, but moving a whole capital is not?! It seems there are other motivations.

Sounds like the moment to act was six months ago
