Iran sees ‘acid rain’ due to US-Israeli attacks; expert warns of health risks, explains what makes ‘black rain’

The Iranian Embassy in India has raised alarms over the emergence of 'acid rain' in Tehran, attributing this environmental issue to ongoing military actions by the United States and Israel. Experts have expressed concerns about the potential health risks associated with acid rain, which can lead to respiratory problems and skin irritations among the population. Furthermore, the phenomenon of 'black rain,' characterized by its dark coloration, has been linked to the fallout from conflict-related activities, exacerbating environmental degradation in the region. As tensions escalate in the Middle East, the implications of such environmental changes could pose serious public health challenges for Iranians. The Iranian government is calling for international awareness and support to address these environmental impacts, emphasizing the need for global cooperation to mitigate the consequences of warfare on natural resources and human health.
