UNEP Confirms Toxic Fallout from US‑Israel Bombardment of Iranian Refineries

The United Nations Environment Programme has verified that the recent strikes on Iranian refineries have generated a plume of toxic substances. The agency's report notes that the combustion of oil and hydrocarbon reserves released hazardous chemicals that can disperse across borders, contaminating air, soil and water. Experts warn that these pollutants may enter the food chain, creating health risks for populations far beyond the immediate war zone.
