Iranian Supreme Leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei said that the water problem in Khuzestan is a painful and essential matter.

In a statement after receiving the second dose of domestically-produced vaccine, he stressed that both governmental and non-governmental forces must speedily work to resolve the problems of the honorable people of Khuzestan and that the next government must diligently work to that end.

Khamenei also warned the people of Khuzestan against enemy plots, saying that the enemies are using all methods to harm the country and its people, so caution is necessary to avoid giving the enemy any excuses.

Khuzestan's Mahshahr port's district governor had recently announced that a police officer was killed, and another shot, by two terrorists that infiltrated the protests against the water crisis.

With regard to the Coronavirus, Khamenei called for the necessity of providing the vaccine inside the country and facilitating the conditions for citizens to obtain it without any problem or delay.
