How has Iran's environmental catastrophe impacted its economy?

Iran is like a big garden that used to have lots of trees, clean water, and happy animals, but now it's having trouble because of pollution, drought, and desert growing everywhere.

Imagine you have a favorite chocolate bar. You eat it every day, but one day, you decide to eat all the chocolate at once. That’s what happened in Iran: they used too many resources too fast, like water, soil, and even air, and now the environment is suffering.

When a garden doesn’t grow good fruits anymore, people can’t sell them, and that means less money coming into the country. Also, pollution makes people sick, so they need more doctors and medicine, which uses up even more money.

It’s like if your lemonade stand ran out of lemons, but you still had to pay for the cups and sugar. That’s not fun, and it’s not good for business!

So, Iran's environmental problems are making it harder for people to earn money and keep things running smoothly.
