All of these and the government\u2019s poor response have triggered ongoing and intensifying protests.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/i\/iran-protests-water-shortage-pensioners-20210718\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\">Why Are Rivers in Iran\u2019s Khuzestan Province Dried Out?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Why-are-rivers-in-Irans-Khuzestan-province-dried-out\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-243451\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Why-are-rivers-in-Irans-Khuzestan-province-dried-out.jpg\" alt=\"Why-are-rivers-in-Irans-Khuzestan-province-dried-out\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Why-are-rivers-in-Irans-Khuzestan-province-dried-out.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Why-are-rivers-in-Irans-Khuzestan-province-dried-out-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Why-are-rivers-in-Irans-Khuzestan-province-dried-out-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Why-are-rivers-in-Irans-Khuzestan-province-dried-out-150x75.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Why-are-rivers-in-Irans-Khuzestan-province-dried-out-696x348.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Iran\u2019s Khuzestan province is well-known for its abundance of bodies of water.

Currently, more than 11 cities in Khuzestan province are in a state of water shortage and about 700 villages do not have water piping and their water is supplied by tankers, which obviously cannot meet their minimum needs. The state-run newspaper Setareh-e-Sobh described the causes of dehydration as a catastrophic disruption of environmental conditions and an ecosystem during four decades of the mullahs\u2019 rule.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/irannewsupdate.com\/news\/insider\/irans-officials-social-crises-are-driving-the-security-crisis\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Read more: <\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-news-in-brief-news\/iran-news-in-brief-july-18-2021\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong style=\"color: #222222;font-family: Verdana, BlinkMacSystemFont, -apple-system, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;font-size: 15px\">Iran News in Brief \u2013 July 18, 2021\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/stats.sender.net\/forms\/dGYVLa\/view\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-219239 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1.png\" alt=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" width=\"250\" height=\"83\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE CONTENT OF THIS PAGE WILL BE UPDATED WITH THE LATEST NEWS UPDATE: 10:30 PM CEST Clashes, Crackdown and More Resistance As the night broke in Khuzestan, more people joined [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":243456,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45,182,234],"tags":[277],"class_list":{"0":"post-243450","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"category-latest-news-in-brief","9":"category-iran-news-in-brief-news","10":"tag-iran-news"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Iran News in Brief - July 19, 2021 - NCRI<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"What is happening in Iran today.
