Khuzestan province in Iran has seen many numerous large-scale protests<\/a> over the water shortages,\u00a0 weeks after the start of protests over power blackouts in the province and across the country. (It should be noted that the blackouts are continuing and that the water shortage is set to expand beyond Khuzestan, as the state media has reported that a quarter of the country has been affected by this in recent years.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#IranProtests<\/a>
Since July 15, people have taken to the streets across Khuzestan province, southwestern #Iran<\/a>. They initially protested officials' failure to resolve water shortages.
Instead, authorities used lethal force and killed and injured several protesters.#\u062e\u0648\u0632\u0633\u062a\u0627\u0646_\u062a\u0646\u0647\u0627_\u0646\u06cc\u0633\u062a<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/APJ6aYzzqn<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Iran News Update (@IranNewsUpdate1) July 20, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote>
