For some perspective, since this seems to be on the sensational side, the yearly average high for August is 117, with temperatures routinely reaching into the 120s, with similar reports found through the last decade (on mobile, can’t reference easily).
Every year from now on is going to be the hottest year on record.

Certain crops will become untenable in some areas, but in other areas, certain crops will become tenable that once weren't. But none of this is new, what's new (aside from the anthropogenic cause) is that Homo sapiens' usual coping mechanism of migration is no longer feasible. This is where the problems and conflicts will come.
> Homo sapiens' usual coping mechanism of migration is no longer feasible. Migration is extremely common, that most migrants do not reach Europe or the USA did not mean that they are not migrating. I may assume that you mean that Europe/USA cannot be the destination of all of them. But, I do not even think that most people is so willing to change to a different place. They will migrate as much as needed but not more.

So it's not a record temperature, just a really hot temperature in a place that routinely sees really hot temperatures?
It's a heat record for a very hot location for this particular time of year (yesterday's record beat the previous record with 0.2C). If Iran's anything like Europe (and I truly have no idea if it is) then the real heat won't hit until July.
Death Valley is not the same thing as the US yanno.

Iran is a big place. Google says it's nearly as large as Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California put together. Death Valley is not the same thing as the US yanno.
