1870-71 年的大饥荒可以说是波斯现代经济和社会史上最悲惨的事件。 1869/70 年冬季，该国大部分地区几乎没有降雨，次年只有西部和南部省份有降雨。两年多的时间里，很多地区没有下过一滴雨。库拉桑、伊斯法罕、亚兹德和法尔斯受干旱影响尤为严重。在许多地区，由于地表水和地下水严重枯竭，旱作作物绝收，灌溉作物收成也很差。即使是通常含有大量水的 Zāyandeh-rūd 也干涸了。
The great famine of 1870–71 was arguably the most tragic event in the modern economic and social history of Persia. Over wide areas of the country almost no rain fell during the winter of 1869/70, and in the following year only the western and southern provinces were blessed with any precipitation. Many areas did not have a single drop of rain during that two-year period. Khurāsān, Isfahān, Yazd and Fārs were particularly hard hit by the drought. In many areas dry-farming crops were wiped out, and harvests of irrigated crops were also very poor as a result of the severe depletion of surface and sub-surface water. Even the Zāyandeh-rūd, which normally contained a large volume of water, dried up.
