Iran, which defines Türkiye’s dam activities on transboundary waters as “unacceptable”, tries to create a public opinion against Türkiye through serious accusations.

The completion of Ilisu Dam and HPP has occupied a broad place in the Iranian press, and there has been an intention to create a public opinion through serious allegations.

Long-time regional rivals Iran and Saudi Arabia are attempting to resolve issues and decrease regional tensions via discussion as a way of reaching an agreement in Iraq's mediation.

While water scarcity in Iran continues to be the trigger of internal tensions, water disputes with neighboring countries also deepen the problem.

As the “maximum pressure” campaign continues, the release of the Iranian assets does not seem to be possible in the near future.
