US Senator John Fetterman has sharply criticized the Iranian government for prioritizing military ambitions over addressing a severe water crisis. In comments responding to a recent news report, Fetterman accused Iran of spending billions on weapons and regional conflicts instead of investing in essential water infrastructure. Iran is currently experiencing a five-year drought, with the capital city of Tehran at risk of running out of water within weeks. Observers have pointed to decades of water mismanagement and the diversion of resources to agriculture and military projects as key factors behind the crisis.
