Iran giving Ahwaz residents a hard time by committing environmental crimes
Iranian occupation forces keep committing violations against Arab residents in the occupied Ahwaz region, southwest of Iran.
Authorities in
the Islamic Republic primarily target those demanding the liberation of the
region. They keep stealing the resources of the region.
The Ahwaz
region contains huge water resources, even as its Arab residents are deprived
of this water. Iranian authorities control the rivers of the region for the
benefit of Iranian nationals.
This gives
Ahwaz farmers a very hard time and makes life in the region next to impossible.
The region is also turning into the world's most polluted.
Ahwaz
residents are deprived of basic services and infrastructure. Iran aims to
introduce demographic changes in the region in order to put an end to calls for
its liberation from Iranian control.

Most of Iran's
oil revenues come from Ahwaz which contains over 300 oil wells. Nevertheless,
Ahwaz residents struggle to get their water needs. Iranian authorities had
recently called an Ahwaz village after Qasem Soleimani, the number 1 enemy of
the residents of Ahwaz for years.

Iran occupied
Ahwaz in 1925 when the region had its own sovereignty and a legitimate ruler.
It also enjoyed a huge natural wealth.
The Middle
East's first oil well was discovered in Ahwaz, according to Aref al-Kaabi, the
head of the Executive Committee for Returning the Legitimacy of Ahwaz.
He said Ahwaz
was about to be a member of the League of Nations at the time.
Over 80% of
Iran's revenues come from Ahwaz, al-Kaabi said.
He added that
the region has oil, natural gas and water.
It also has
ports and fertile land suitable for the cultivation of all types of crops,
al-Kaabi said.
