Subsidence in Neyshabur Iran

An aerial view shows wide subsidence cracks and circular sinkholes cutting across fields on the outskirts of Neyshabur, Iran, on November 14, 2025. Experts say excessive groundwater extraction has turned Neyshabur into one of Iran’s most critical subsidence hotspots. The subsidence now poses a threat to agriculture and key infrastructure, including the Tehran-Mashhad railroad and major energy pipelines.
