Am I missing something? How data centers in US/EU evaporating water thousand of miles from Iran affect it? Does it disturb the rain cycle in Iran or something?

The grandparent comment asserts that as data center roll-out continues, water scarcity becomes an even bigger issue globally.

The parent comment said DCs don't use water. This claim is easily proven to be incorrect.

But, correct, DCs outside Iran have little/no impact on the situation in Iran today.

Iran will probably roll out data centres, as will other countries.

I wasn't speaking specifically US/EU.

A theocracy having that level of access to people's private info will be interesting.
