Ministry Rules Out Water Import 

The Energy Ministry has no intention of importing water from neighboring states, such as Tajikistan and Turkey, Iran’s energy minister said.
“Water import is not, has not been and will not be among our plans to fight the menace of drought in the central plateau and southern regions,” Ali Akbar Mehrabian was also quoted as saying by ILNA.
Referring to viable alternatives to ease the scarcity, he noted that the ministry is pursuing water diplomacy to settle conflicts concerning cross-border resources with Turkey and Afghanistan.
