Iranian Foreign Minister Amir Abdollahian said on social media on the 16th that Israel’s bombing of fuel storage facilities in Tehran, Iran’s capital, “violates international law and constitutes ecological genocide,” posing long-term harm to residents’ health and well-being. Abdollahian stated that soil and groundwater pollution could have generational impacts, and “Israel must be held accountable for its war crimes.” On the evening of the 7th, the Israel Defense Forces issued a statement saying they attacked multiple fuel storage facilities in Tehran. WHO spokesperson Christian Lindmeier later warned that the “black rain” and “acid rain” resulting from the attack on Tehran pose a real danger to Iranians. (Xinhua)
