A senior cleric alleges that immorality among women in Iran has caused the Zayandeh-rud River to dry up.

Seyyed Youssef Tabatabi-nejad, the leader of Friday prayers in Isfahan, said: “My office has received photos of women next to the dry Zayandeh-rud River pictured as if they are in Europe. It is these sorts of acts that cause the river to dry up even further.”

In an article on Arab News, an Iranian political analyst said that the middle eastern states surrounding Iran must come together as a force, unwilling to accept the fascist dictatorship of Iran.

Shahriar Kia said: “An undeniable necessity for such a force right now, lies in the fact that every member of the international community — especially those residing in the flashpoint region of the Middle East — must learn to respect the territorial sovereignty and integrity of their fellow nations.”
