Damming rivers with runoffs into salt plains and salt desert, funneling water into agriculture for gdp, and making enemies in every direction was probably a really bad move, ngl.
If they hadn’t done any one particular thing in that list then things wouldn’t be so bad, now.
Heads up, desertification is spreading rapidly through that region due to climate change. It’s not going to rain well every year, mate.

Yeah, how dare they seek food security without imports in the face of international embargo.
GDP means Gross Domestic Product which means they were EXPORTING THE FOOD and actually a huge amount of spices such as Safron. You could argue that they are just really really really bad at math but the result is the same, incompetence leading to drought.
You’re right, Ayatollah Khomeini should have… made it rain somehow. It’s all also Russia and China’s fault!!

GDP measures consumption, government spending, and exports minus imports.
