Please introduce other sources that can bring the receipts. The water and power shortage is a national security threat to any country. They have the tech for cloud seeding. I saw an article a while back talking about the IRGC using Shahed 181 for cloud seeding.
As for the source, Epoch has higher viewership than any left-wing outlet.
"Fox News’ website had nearly 74.8 million viewers in July 2023, while the No. 2 most visited site, The Washington Examiner, had just 7.5 million and No. 3, The Epoch Times, had 6.2 million, according to

No Easy Solutions For Iran’s Water Shortages and Power Outages
"Inefficient agricultural practices, especially the failure to use modern irrigation methods, contribute significantly to waste. While only 12 percent of Iran’s land is under cultivation, it accounts for about 93 percent of Iran’s water consumption. This is even though agriculture represents only 10 percent of the country’s gross domestic product, and only 17 percent of the country’s workforce is employed in this sector."
"
Energy-intensive industries, such as steel and petrochemicals, have been forced to curtail production,
leading to losses in the steel production sector alone of more than $8.5 billion this year.
Combined with a
severe depreciation of the Iranian currency and high inflation, the power outages
spurred public frustration and anger.
In 2023, Iran
faced a power shortage of 13,000 megawatts. This number reached 18,000 megawatts in 2024, and is predicted to increase to 25,000 megawatts in 2025."
Addressing water challenges necessitates sustainable management, conservation, diversified sources such as desalination, and climate change mitigation.

Bitcoin mining is one of the suspected causes of the power outages disrupting life in Iran
"The surge has led some to suspect that organized cryptocurrency mining — sucking away huge amounts of power — has played a part in the outages in Iran."
As always, numerous great pilot programs never see the light of day in Iran.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force in cooperation with Iran’s Energy Ministry have formed a special fleet of drones for cloud-seeding.
