Currently, many areas of the country require reconstruction and renovation of dams to maximize water retention. The dams built in flood-prone areas lack the capacity to withstand severe floods due to their deteriorating structure, leading to their collapse and the ensuing devastating floods.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, instead of focusing on the construction and renovation of dams in these regions, the regime is investing in building dams in other countries using the money from the pockets of the Iranian people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Over the past few decades, as the regime has strengthened its influence in the region by investing in paramilitary forces <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xinhuanet.com\/english\/2019-07\/05\/c_138202286.htm\">in neighboring countries<\/a>, Tehran has sought to establish dependent states and build alliances through such extravagant spending.
