Saddest thing is that we've seen this coming for years, and if they would've listened to their own scientists, it would've been at least delayed. But they didn't just deplete their water, they destroyed the #aquifer .
WHOA.
Amid a deepening ecological crisis and acute water shortage, Tehran can no longer remain the capital of #Iran, the country’s president has said. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/irans-capital-has-run-out-of-water-forcing-it-to-move/
The situation in Tehran is the result of “a perfect storm of climate change and corruption,” says Michael Rubin, a political analyst at the American Enterprise Institute.
“We no longer have a choice,” said Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian during a speech on Thursday.
Instead Iranian officials are considering moving the capital to the country’s southern coast. But experts say the proposal does not change the reality for the nearly 10 million people who live in Tehran and are now suffering the consequences of a decades-long decline in water supply.
Since at least 2008, scientists have warned that unchecked groundwater pumping for the city and for agriculture was rapidly draining the country’s aquifers. The overuse did not just deplete underground reserves—it destroyed them, as the land compressed and sank irreversibly. One recent study found that Iran’s central plateau, where most of the country’s aquifers are located, is sinking by more than 35 centimeters each year. As a result, the aquifers lose about 1.7 billion cubic meters of water annually as the ground is permanently crushed, leaving no space for underground water storage to recover.
Iran's president says moving the capital Tehran is now a necessity as the water crisis deepens. That'll be moving 16 million people (metro area) then, almost equal to the entire population of the Netherlands.

Dédicaces à la librairie "Momie BD" 1 rue Lafayette 38000 Grenoble de 15h30 à 18h
Bibliothèque Centre-Ville Grenoble à 18h30 10, rue de la République 38000 Grenoble (https://www.grenoble.fr/agenda/5344/79-rencontre-bd-avec-mansoureh-kamari.htm)
Mansoureh Kamari est née et a grandi à Téhéran, en Iran.
Elle y a obtenu son diplôme en dessin industriel mais a toujours été passionnée par le cinéma d’animation. Après son arrivée en France en 2011, elle a poursuivi ses études en cinéma d’animation aux Gobelins à Paris.
Depuis 2015 elle travaille pour les studios d’animation en tant que dessinatrice des personnages, en France et à l’étranger.
Les lignes qui tracent mon corps est son premier album de bande dessinée.
En Iran, selon la loi islamique, le père de famille est propriétaire du sang de ses enfants…
Toutes les violences sont donc permises.
Dans cette première BD, Ces lignes qui tracent mon corps (Casterman, 2025), Mansoureh Kamari fait le récit de son enfance et de son adolescence sous le joug masculin, mais aussi celui de sa liberté retrouvée à travers l’exil.
Ce roman graphique intime, beau et terrifiant, raconte la peur, les agressions, mais aussi le corps enfin libre, dessiné et animé, vivant.
Rencontre animée par la librairie Momie BD. Dans le cadre du festival Migrant’scène.

In August many of us were at the biannual Conference of the Association of Persianate Studies in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
Our contributions included a roundtable on Histories and Historiographies of 16th- to early 18th-century Central Asia led by our director, Florian Schwarz, a panel on Central Asian National Identities with our deputy director Ariane Sadjed, and with Jeanine Dagyeli a panel on Capitalism in Turkestan: Foreign Investments and Local Entanglements.
Our Bruno De Nicola, Stefan Kamola, and Sara Mirahmadi also joined a panel on Continuity and Transformation in Persianate Mongol Intellectual History organised by Carina Dreyer, and Robert Steele presented his book on Pahlavi relations with Africa.
Thanks to the hosts and organisers: these vital spaces for sharing our work show the importance of having many and diverse disciplines and scholars coming together to build better research on the Persianate world and its connections!

Iran is facing severe drought. With soaring high temperatures due to climate change, tensions between hydroelectric water use and decreased river flow, and groundwater extraction exhausting reserves, there are a range of potential risks ahead.
An OEAW interview on the subject with our director, Prof. Florian Schwarz (in German):

Regime change in Iran is far harder than many assume. But if the Islamic Republic were to fall, the country already possesses the needed institutional scaffolding for democracy. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/07/28/world/iran-is-prepared-for-democracy/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #iran #elections #democracy
I find this article to be a bit disingenuous! It assumes that those pushing for regime change in #Iran ( #US, the #Zionist entity, #UK, #EU) are *actually* interested in it being a democracy! The list of countries where US #Empire has #overturned democratically elected governments is *legion*! They don’t care if the incoming regime is a dictatorship; they only want obeisance to the Imperium!
As a follow up to Israel attacking Iran, the Islamic republic regime (ruling Iran) is being horrific to Afghan refugees/immigrants. Afghans are becoming scapegoats and blamed for spying for Israel. The most vulnerable people get most fucked over - always.
And people thought war was going to help.

“'They said, "We’re going to shoot them. Is one o’clock OK?" I said it’s fine,' Trump said. 'And everybody was emptied off the base so they couldn’t get hurt, except for the gunners.'”
