Iran plans to move capital from Tehran to another city

The Iranian government is seriously considering moving the capital south, along the coast of the Makran Gulf. They stressed that the proposal is still in its early stages, but that it is being considered due to overpopulation and increasingly pressing ecological challenges in Tehran, including water shortages.
