Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated on Thursday that the issue of transferring the capital from Tehran has become a 'necessary inevitability'. He said that the current capital faces serious challenges, including overpopulation, air pollution, and vulnerability to earthquakes. Pezeshkian emphasized that Tehran, with a population of over 10 million, is one of the most polluted cities in the world and is located in a seismically active zone. He added that the government is studying several potential sites for the new capital, including cities in northern and central regions of the country. The president noted that moving the capital is a complex and long-term project that will require significant investment and careful planning. However, he believes it is essential for the country's sustainable development and to improve the quality of life for its citizens.
