With floods destroying their houses, many people in different southwestern Iranian provinces gathered in protest to the regime\u2019s inaction. Fearing people\u2019s intensifying anger, the regime\u2019s governor of Khuzestan province suspended the mayor of the city of Sarbandar after protests by locals over the regime\u2019s inaction. Reports from Iran indicate that floods and torrential rains shut down all companies in the Mahshahr Port Petrochemical Special Economic Zone in southwest Iran. The heavy rainfall in the past two weeks in Khuzestan province created flash floods. Floods have destroyed the houses of locals. Yet, the regime\u2019s officials have not taken any serious action to help the victims. Many of the cities in southwest Iran lack sewage disposal systems and surface water conduction canals. Therefore, the water has risen on the street, and sewage entered people\u2019s houses in Ahvaz, Karun, Bandar Imam, and Mahshahr in Khuzestan province. The regime could have prevented floods. But, the regime\u2019s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) have been carrying out systematic deforestation of the Iranian frosts, building unscientific and unnecessary dams, and converting flood routes and dry riverbeds for urban development without proper drainage infrastructure for further looting Iran\u2019s natural resources. In other words, the regime increased the severity of the floods.
