اَبَربحران در حکمرانی آب؛ پیامدهای اقتصادی و ژئوپلیتیک خشکسالی و ورشکستگی آبی

The current critical situation of underground water resources and weather conditions in general, manifested in the form of water stress, land subsidence, water bankruptcy, drought, desertification, destruction of ecosystems and especially "water competition", is the most serious super crisis or Achilles' heel of the country in foreseeable decades. . Although this situation is caused by the hydrological and climatic conditions of Iran, several decades of severe sanctions and mismanagement have added to its complexities. The increasing scarcity of water resources often exacerbates political and social instabilities and directs the government's focus on ensuring food security and self-sufficiency of strategic agricultural goods. This fragile situation aggravates the country's political-security risks due to the intense competition over water resources in Iran's neighboring countries. This research, with descriptive-analytical method and citing reliable library sources, aims to answer the question that dozens of sanctions have had consequences for Iran's environment, climate resilience and security perspective. The findings of this research show that although sanctions are definitely not the main cause of Iran's environmental problems, they have had an undeniable impact on the country's environment: (1) limiting access to technology, services and knowledge, (2) blocking international environmental aid and (3) Increasing intensity of consumption of natural resources in Iran's economy.
