Iran VP vows pursuing Hirmand water rights through int’l bodies

Zahedan, IRNA – Iranian First Vice President Mohammad Mokhber said that the current administrative government in the country is serious in its efforts to pursue Iran’s water rights from the Helmand (Hirmand) River through negotiations with Afghanistan and through legal actions in international institutions.

Speaking in a meeting with Sistan and Baluchestan provincial officials on Wednesday, Mokhber said that the government would follow up on all decisions adopted during his trip to the province.

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi ordered Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian earlier this week to pursue the issue of Iran's water rights from Hirmand which he described as vital for the welfare of people in Sistan Baluchestan.

Amirabdollahian said later that Iran would not give up a single drop of its historic water rights in border regions.
