Following a violent crackdown on peaceful protesters at Zayandeh Rud, the Iranian regime blamed “thugs and opportunists” for burning down the protestors’ tents.<\/p>\n

The Iranian regime’s Revolutionary Guards published a post on its Telegram channel and claimed: “The farmers of Isfahan agreed to break up their tents on Thursday after setting some conditions. But unfortunately, some thugs and opportunists attacked their tents on Thursday morning and set them on fire.”<\/p>\n

“The special police unit went to the scene and these people, who had an unusual appearance, fled and some of these thugs were arrested by the police,” the IRGC telegram channel added.<\/p>\n

The farmers in Isfahan have called on the people of the entire city to hold a large gathering on Friday, November 26. According to some state media outlets, the crowd that gathered last week reached seven digits.<\/p>\n

\"iran-subsidence\"<\/p>\n

Irregular water abstraction has made Iran one of the world record holders of land subsidence crisis and Tehran is among the top sinking cities.\u00a0Shahriyar and Mallard, have sunk up to 36 cm in the southwest of Tehran annually, and the Varamin plain in the southeast of Tehran has reportedly sunk up to half a meter.<\/p>\n

A report by the state-run Hamshahri newspaper shows that the south of Varamin is on the verge of becoming a large sinkhole.<\/p>\n

The report also adds that due to the drought of the past two years, which has intensified the process of abstraction of water from groundwater in the Varamin plain, subsidence is expected to intensify in southeastern Tehran.<\/p>\n
