Soil is one of the essential components of nature. The situation on Iranian soil is currently terrible. The International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS) has designated December 5 as World Soil Day to emphasize the importance of soil and prevent its destruction.
The situation of Iranian soil
The mullahs also sell Iranian soil as a commodity. But because world day has not been considered for these events and catastrophes that are taking place in Iran, and only the World Soil Science Day has been designated, the soil situation in Iran can be examined.
“It takes about 100 years to produce one centimeter of soil,” The IRGC-affiliated Fars news agency quoted a soil and water director as saying. On this account, it will take centuries to compensate for the damage done to Iran by the religious dictatorship.
“Soil erosion in our country is four times the global average, and it takes hundreds of years to compensate for soil erosion,” the state-run ISNA news agency quoted the head of Ardabil University’s Faculty of Agriculture as saying. A member of the faculty of Ardabil University said that “an alarm should be sounded in the field of soil erosion and destruction in the country” Also, according to Fars News Agency, the head of the Environment Organization said in a meeting on the occasion of World Soil Day: “The soil in the country is being lost in the form of movement and transfer.”
Regime measures to protect Iranian soil
What the Iranian regime has done in these four decades has been nothing more than destroying the homeland and the people. The eight years of the devastating war that only Khomeini wanted to, destroy the lands of five provinces and more than 600 villages in the west of the country for a long time. Unscientific policies lacking advanced soil science standards are the result of this devastation.
Iran’s soil is becoming saline
The head of the Environment Organization says in this regard, “In addition to erosion and destruction of soil in motion, our stagnant soil is also being destroyed, one of the main causes of which is soil salinity. On the shores, the discharge of aquifers has caused the saltwater to move to the freshwater with its higher density and our coastal lands to become more saline than before. In Inland lands, high water pumping has caused the aquifers to be emptied and soil salinity to occur in inland lands as well.”
The government official did not elaborate on who caused the situation. At the same time, all these unprofessional actions and their implementation without considering the necessary laws of soil science have created these deplorable conditions for the soil of Iran. Now, after all this destruction of Iranian territory, the so-called head of the government’s environmental protection organization says, “The Environmental Protection Agency is developing guidelines for soil monitoring, refining and pollution, and the implementation of this guideline requires the participation of people, various organizations and institutions. The importance of soil becomes apparent when we look underfoot. Soil is what we belong to and to which we return.”
Also, the director of water, soil, and engineering technical affairs of Ardabil Jihad Agricultural Organization announced some clerical recommendations for soil week, some of which are “conducting a painting contest among children on the importance of soil, participating in various radio and television programs holding a workshop on World Soil Day in the province, showing a film on soil, holding an exhibition on soil, installing advertising banners and brochures, and the question that arises, will these measures solve the problem of destroying Iranian soil?
Indeed, the fact that the regime of the Velayat-e-Faqih (supreme religious rule) has been called the government of ignorance and its crime is proof of this fact. A crime that even the territory of Iran has not been safe from, and it is the right of the Iranian people to overthrow this medieval government as soon as possible.
