TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran’s minister of industry, mine and trade announced the implementation of a plan to transfer 2.4 billion cubic meters of water from the Sea of Oman to the three provinces of Sistan and Balouchestan, South Khorasan and Khorasan Razavi.
Speaking in a Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, chaired by President Ebrahim Raisi, Abbas Aliabadi submitted a comprehensive report on the implementation of the plan for transferring water from the Sea of Oman to the three provinces and called it a giant project at the international level.
