Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has rejected an offer by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to send Israeli water technology experts to help address Iran's severe water shortages. Pezeshkian dismissed the proposal as a 'mirage,' pointing to Israel's own record on water access in Gaza. The exchange follows Netanyahu's public call for Iranians to protest against their government amid ongoing power and water crises, which have led to rolling blackouts and warnings of empty reservoirs by autumn. Iran continues to struggle with high temperatures and dwindling water supplies, while Israel remains a global leader in desalination technology but faces criticism over humanitarian conditions in Gaza.
