Iran-Historical 33-Bridge And Dried-up Zayandeh Rud River
Iranian youths stand together on a dried-up Zayandeh Rud river riverside as one of them holds a hookah, while a view of the Si-o-se-pol (33-Bridge) historical bridge is pictured 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 33-Bridge on the river may be damaged due to subsidence of the Zayandeh Rud riverbed if the drought continues. (Photo by Morteza Nikoubazl/NurPhoto)
