Tehran announces

TEHRAN: Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian has stated that Tehran will not carry out attacks or missile strikes against neighbouring countries.

In a statement, Pezeshkian said Iran regrets the recent incidents and apologises to neighbouring states over the attacks that took place in recent days, adding that Tehran has no intention of targeting other countries.

The Iranian president further said that the interim leadership council has approved a decision not to conduct any attacks or missile strikes against neighbouring nations.

However, he added that Iran would refrain from such actions as long as its territory is not attacked from the soil of those countries.

Pezeshkian also emphasised that Iran would not surrender to the United States or Israel, saying the country’s adversaries would have to “take their wish of Iranian surrender to the grave.”

His remarks come after recent tensions following strikes on Iran by the United States and Israel, after which Tehran reportedly targeted US military bases located in neighbouring countries, leaving several civilians injured.

TEHRAN: Thee Iran’s capital, Tehran, is facing a severe water shortage, officials have warned, as central reservoirs contain only enough water for the next two weeks.

Addressing the nation on Iranian television, President Masoud Pershkian cautioned that if rainfall does not occur in the coming days, the city could experience acute water scarcity.

He added that rationing will begin by late November or early December, and if rains fail during the rationing period, parts of Tehran may need to be evacuated.

Authorities reported that rainfall in Iran this year has dropped by 40%, with several provinces facing 50-80% water shortages, while many other areas continue to experience drought conditions. Residents have been urged to conserve water and prepare for the emergency measures.
