Floods in southern cities of Iran – December 2020<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Reports from Iran indicate that floods have spread across southwest Iran, including many parts of Bushehr province. With floods destroying their houses, many people in different southwestern Iranian provinces gathered in protest to the regime’s inaction.<\/p>\n

Fearing people’s intensifying anger, the regime’s governor of Khuzestan province suspended the mayor of the city of Sarbandar after protests by locals over the regime’s inaction.<\/p>\n

“Due to the recent rains, eight provinces, including Khuzestan, were flooded, and in 15 cities, water entered the houses. Ahvaz, Mahshahr, and Sarbandar ports were the most flooded on the roads and houses, and many people’s houses were submerged,” said Ali Khodadadi, head of the Khuzestan Red Crescent.<\/p>\n

Reports from Iran indicate that floods and torrential rains shut down all companies in the Mahshahr Port Petrochemical Special Economic Zone in southwest Iran.<\/p>\n
