News India Live, Digital Desk: The ongoing war in West Asia has now become a crisis for nature too. Hair-raising pictures are emerging from Iran’s capital Tehran. The sky of Tehran has become completely black after Israel’s attacks on oil depots and refineries. The situation is such that even during the day there is darkness like night and it is not raining water but ‘poison’ from the sky.
‘Black monster’ swallows sky: outcry in Tehran
Local residents have described this scene as ‘apocalyptic’. Hydrocarbons, sulfur and nitrogen oxides released from the massive fires caused by the attacks have made the air poisonous.
Black Rain: The rain in Tehran on Sunday left people in panic. The droplets falling from the clouds were stained with oil, blackening roads, vehicles and houses.
Difficult to breathe: The air has become so poisonous that people are suffering from eye irritation, throat infection and severe difficulty in breathing.
Iranian Red Crescent warning: “Do not leave the house”
Iran’s ‘Red Crescent Society’ has issued an emergency advisory. It says that this rain ‘Highly dangerous and acidic’ Might be possible.
Danger to skin and lungs: It has been warned that coming in contact with this black rain can cause skin burns (chemical burns) and permanent damage to the lungs.
Tips to stay indoors: People have been advised to keep windows and doors closed and not go out immediately after the rain.

Israel claims: “These were military targets”
On the other hand, the Israeli military (IDF) says that they only targeted oil depots that were being used by the Iranian military to fuel its military machinery and ballistic missiles. However, these attacks have pushed the city with a population of crores into a major ecological crisis.
alarm bell for the world
Experts believe that this is not only Iran’s problem. This poisonous smoke and carbon emissions emanating from oil depots are also very dangerous for the global climate. If this war is not stopped soon, the entire region may be in the grip of a major health crisis.
