Taps run dry as water crisis forces Iran to consider evacuating its capital
NBC News | Nov. 16, 2025 | Amin Khodadadi, Evan Bush and Babak Dehghanpisheh… Iran is facing its worst water crisis in decades. With no end in sight and authorities warning they may even have to evacuate the capital of 10 million people, residents like Ensani are scrambling to respond.
“We didn’t have water for three days. The pressure was so low that nothing came out.”
And we’re off!

Week 2
That old saying had a clear meaning, right?
Until recently, that is.
For the first time in my life, I opened Bumble Bee sardine tins — 3 over the course of a month — and in all three found, upon peeling back the finger-cutter, that I could see the bottom of the tin.
Yes, the sardines had been layered somewhat diagonally, so they could get fewer fish into the tin.
It gives a weight, but naturally I don’t have any old tins to compare with, to see if the weight is diminished. If it’s not, I guess I shouldn’t complain.
Yet here I am.
