"The black rain that fell across Tehran two weekends ago was perhaps the most symbolic symptom of a litany of environmental devastation being wrought on Iran by the US-Israeli war machine since the start of the month."
"Every impact is a human and environmental catastrophe, which together will add up to a toxic legacy that will blight the whole region but especially Iran for decades to come."
"Wim Zwijnenburg, a remote sensing specialist, has already compiled a database of more than 500 incidents of environmental harm inside Iran and a further 100 outside."
"When Tehran's fuel depots were bombed two weeks ago, authorities and the Iranian Red Crescent Society struggled to keep up with the incidents."
The US-Israeli war has led to extensive environmental damage in Iran, marked by incidents such as bombings of oil refineries and military bases. Thousands of bombs have been deployed, resulting in a toxic legacy for the region. Environmental monitors have documented over 500 incidents of harm within Iran and additional incidents outside. The impacts include oil depot strikes and marine pollution, with little public information available about the specific targets affected. The ongoing conflict poses severe risks to both human life and the environment.
