Apocalyptic scenes have come out of Iran following devastating strikes on the nation’s oil facilities by Israel over the weekend. On Saturday, Israel struck Tehran’s oil facilities, leading to thick black clouds blanketing Iran’s capital. Following the strikes, black rainwater saturated with oil covered the city of Tehran as the air turned toxic.
According to the Iranian Red Crescent humanitarian group, the explosions released “significant quantities of toxic hydrocarbon compounds, sulphur, and nitrogen oxides.” The organisation revealed that, “In the event of precipitation, the resulting rain is extremely dangerous and highly acidic.”
