Iran-Historical 33-Bridge And Dried-up Zayandeh Rud River
An Iranian man uses his cellphone while standing on the dried-up riverside of the Zayandeh Rud river, with the Si-o-se-pol (33-Bridge) historical bridge visible in the background, in the historic city of Isfahan, Iran, on February 22, 2025. Zayandeh Rud is one of the main tourist attractions of Isfahan, which has completely dried up. Historical bridges such as the 33-Bridge on the river may be damaged due to the subsidence of the Zayandeh Rud riverbed if the drought continues. (Photo by Morteza Nikoubazl/NurPhoto)
