TEHRAN — The authorities on Monday ordered the immediate evacuation of flood-stricken cities in western Iran as rivers burst banks, dams overflowed and vast areas were cut off from communication.
The highest level of alert was declared in Lorestan Province with four or five cities “completely critical,” state television reported from Khorramabad, the provincial capital.
“In Khorramabad the water has risen by as much as three meters in parts,” the television broadcast said, with reports elsewhere of areas “completely submerged with residents stranded on their rooftops.”
The Red Crescent’s provincial director, Sarem Rezaee, said his organization had lost contact with much of the region.

Every village in the vicinity of the two cities had been surrounded by floodwaters, while all five dams in Lorestan had reached capacity and four of them were overflowing.

Numerous rivers had burst their banks and landslides blocked many roads, said the reports. News outlets showed images of collapsed bridges and oil and gas pipelines destroyed by the flooding. The main railway line linking Tehran to the south of the country had also been blocked by the flood.
This is the third major flood to hit Iran in the past two weeks after heavy rainfalls in the mostly arid country, which had endured a prolonged drought until this year.
The first flood struck the northeast of the country on March 19 and the second hit the west and southwest on March 25, with a combined reported death toll of 45 people.
There was no immediate respite from the latest flooding, again striking the west and southwest, following heavy rain that was forecast to continue into Tuesday.
Aside from Lorestan, a half dozen other provinces are facing flood emergencies. Twenty-three of Iran’s 31 provinces have been affected and could face floods.
The reservoirs of many dams have reached full capacity, forcing emergency discharges, as much as 1,800 cubic meters per second in some cases, to prevent them from breaking.

At least 45 people have died in the past two weeks after heavy rains, with flooding affecting at least 23 of the country’s 31 provinces.
The orders come as Foreign Minister Javad Zarif accused US sanctions of impeding aid efforts to affected areas.
“This isn’t just economic warfare; it’s economic terrorism,” Mr Zarif tweeted.
US sanctions imposed after President Donald Trump withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal last year have caused a shortage of rescue helicopters.
The Iranian authorities have requested military help, including helicopters and amphibious armoured personnel carriers, for the rescue efforts.

砂漠の国で２週降り続く豪雨。３度の大洪水。明らかなる異常気象現象だ。
イランではこの傾向が近年強まっている。

2019/04/03
イラン全土で、洪水や鉄砲水による被害が拡大している。３月中旬以降、本格化した豪雨は過去１０年間で最も深刻とされ、地元メディアによると、２日までに５７人が死亡した。
　水害はイランの全３１州のうち少なくとも２６州に及び、被害を受けた道路は全国の３割以上に達したとする情報もある。被災地では電気や通信が広範囲で遮断されている。

　最高指導者ハメネイ師は２日、被災者支援や復旧に全力を挙げるよう指示した。報道によれば、軍や精鋭部隊「革命防衛隊」による支援活動は、機材不足などを理由に手間取っている。
