Iran’s Man Made Water Disaster and How Israel’s Tech Could Help Repair It

As an Iranian, I know our country is not drying up by accident. It is being systematically looted and mismanaged by a regime that never cared about the land or the people living on it. For decades, they have drained our groundwater, built pointless dams, ignored our own scientists, and handed control of rivers and reservoirs to cronies who treat them like private fortunes. Climate change hurts many countries, yet very few have watched their lakes and wetlands turn into dust bowls as quickly as Iran. That speed is the fingerprint of this regime’s choices. Meanwhile, just across the region, Israel has developed some of the most advanced water and desalination technology in the world and built a model of how to live with scarcity. If the Islamic Republic falls and Iran and Israel become allies again, that experience could help my country repair its rivers, lakes, and aquifers and give Iranians a chance to reclaim their land instead of watching it die.
