Mehdi Ismaili Bidhendi, a professor at Tehran University's Faculty of Environment, stated as follows.

He stated that salt storms caused by the lake's drying up will have an impact on more distant regions.

"This will become a transnational problem, agriculture will be destroyed, and diseases will spread at a rate that the country's health system cannot control," the professor warned.

It should be noted that Lake Urmia's minimum ecological water volume is 15 billion cubic meters, the maximum ecological water volume is 30 billion cubic meters, and the minimum ecological area is 4635 square kilometers.

The lake's current volume of water is approximately 1 billion cubic meters, and ecologists consider it to be completely dried up.
