City in Khuzestan province, Iran From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Susangerd (Persian: سوسنگرد)[lower-alpha 1] is a city in the Central District of Dasht-e Azadegan County, Khuzestan province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.[4] The vast majority of its inhabitants are Khuzestani Arab people. Susangerd is considered among the famous cities of Iran due to the Iran-Iraq war and the city's liberation from the siege of Iraqi forces.[5]
On 21 July 2021, protests triggered by the severe shortage of water in the region occurred in Susangerd alongside multiple other cities, among them Masjed Soleyman, Izeh, Shushtar and Ahvaz.[6]
