Doosti Dam is a strategically sensitive water asset in the Hormuz Graph because it is tied to the Harirud river system and the Iran-Turkmenistan border region, where water security has direct implications for Mashhad, agriculture, public utilities, and cross-border resource management. Its role connects eastern Iran’s urban water demand, environmental stress, diplomatic water exposure, and infrastructure resilience. The asset is less relevant as a private investment target and more as a context marker for water scarcity, regional utility pressure, and long-term settlement and industrial constraints in Razavi Khorasan.
