Iran Press/ Iran news: According to the Hirmand Treaty, which was signed in 1973 by the then authorities of Iran and Afghanistan, Iran's share of the Hirmand River water is equal to 820 million cubic meters per year and about 26 cubic meters per second, which, of course, varies in different months and seasons.
The former government of Afghanistan, which claimed to secure Iran's water rights by building the Kamal Khan Dam in Nimruz province on the Hirmand River, practically prevented the implementation of this agreement, which caused great damage to human, animal and plant life around the Hirmand river in Iran, especially in Sistan and Baluchistan province.
In this regard, Ebrahim Raisi, President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, during his visit to Chabahar today (Thursday) said: "I warn the rulers of Afghanistan to immediately grant the water rights to the people of Sistan and Baluchistan."
The President of the Islamic Republic of Iran added: "If our experts confirm the lack of water, we have nothing to say, otherwise we will not allow the rights of our people to be violated, and this issue is not something that is subject to the passage of time."
