In the West’s water war, Arizona's governor is betting on Trump — and Iran - Politico
Overview
Arizona faces deep cuts to the Colorado River that threaten its economy, and Governor Katie Hobbs is publicly betting on President Donald Trump to secure the state’s ‘fair share’ of water and blunt those cuts. Hobbs has framed the issue as tied to national priorities — citing Arizona-made missiles, semiconductors and agriculture — and is signaling reliance on the administration’s leverage, including dynamics tied to the Iran conflict. Her move underscores how water policy and foreign-policy politics are intersecting and shaping state-level calculations.
