Toxic Sludge Raining Down on Iran After Bombing of Oil Facilities

"Something like a black monster has swallowed the sky over Tehran. It's as if all the cars and the street pavement have been coated in black paint. The Iranian arm of the Red Crescent Society warned residents in the area that the rain would likely be highly dangerous and acidic, and could cause chemical burns of the skin and serious damage to the lungs."

"You can see that the rain water is actually black, also saturated, it appears, with oil. That's what's coming down this morning, this sort of oil-filled rain. The Red Crescent Society further warned that precipitation of this kind could register pH levels as low as 4.0, which is about the acidity of apple cider, below the lethal level for most species of fish."

Tehran faced severe environmental crisis when Israeli airstrikes on nearby oil storage facilities released massive plumes of black smoke into the atmosphere. The toxic emissions combined with rainfall to create acidic black rain falling over the Iranian capital. Residents reported breathing difficulties, headaches, skin damage, and eye and throat irritation. The Iranian Red Crescent Society warned that the rain was highly dangerous and acidic, capable of causing chemical burns and lung damage. The rainwater tested at pH levels around 4.0, comparable to apple cider acidity, posing serious health and environmental risks to the region.
