Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, who is subordinate to “supreme leader” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, described the inevitable need to relocate the capital of his country out of Tehran during remarks on Thursday, citing an unsolvable water and overpopulation crisis.
Pezeshkian has addressed the dire situation of Tehran’s infrastructures and utilities, particularly the lack of rainfall and drying reservoirs, in the past, but this week he insisted that no solution exists to continue maintaining the city’s status as the country’s capital.
“I also told the leader of the revolution that we must shift the capital toward the Persian Gulf,” Pezeshkian reportedly said, according to Russian news agency Tass. “Nowadays, we don’t have an alternative anymore. We are compelled to do so. If things remain the same, we will face difficulties.”
