From the article:
New satellite images show that Lake Urmia, once the largest lake in the Middle East, has reached record lows and may vanish entirely by the end of summer.
The lake, which spans northwestern [Iran](https://www.newsweek.com/topic/iran), has been reduced to a fraction of its former size, with officials and scientists warning of potentially irreversible ecological and human consequences.

Soon it’ll be the largest pond then the largest puddle and eventually it’ll be gone. Tragic to think about
Maybe Iran should have put their resources into finding other water supplies and modernizing their infrastructure to use less. Instead, they put their resources into funding terror groups across the Middle East. Can anyone here say FAFO?
Aral Sea 2: this time it’s personal

The Jews stole all the water OBVIOUSLY

Knock knock
Iran is in a serious water crisis. Ground water is depleted and there is a major drought.
Not gonna lie I was worried for the fictional place of Middle Earth for a fraction of a minute.
What would happen if they decided to dig it deeper while they have the opportunity? I assume that most of the original native life is gone, besides worms and microbials, but if they chose half of the lake and dig it to a depth of 300 or more feet, I assume it could fill with water and provide a cooler environment to prevent evaporation. A wide shallow lake evaporates more quickly than a deep lake.
Excuse me, Iran is definitely not within the „Middle East“.
Iraq is as an Arab country but Iran is not.
