The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has warned that winds carrying pollutants from Iran could deteriorate air quality in the western parts of Pakistan following strikes on Iranian oil reserves. In a statement, the Met Office said the recent bombing of oil storage facilities in Iran by Israel and the United States could lead to significant environmental consequences in the region. The United States and Israel hit five oil facilities with overnight strikes in and near the Iranian capital, an official told state TV on Sunday. According to meteorologists, Iran may face serious environmental damage as a result of the attacks. The department said reports of “black acid rain” in and around Tehran are one of the signs indicating environmental contamination caused by the strikes.
