Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Israeli strikes on fuel storage facilities in Tehran violated international law and caused "ecocide." In a social media post on March 16, he said the attacks could cause long-term damage to residents' health and well-being, with possible soil and groundwater pollution affecting future generations. The remarks came after strikes on March 7 triggered major fires, toxic smoke and reports of "black rain" in the Iranian capital. #worldnow šŸ“ŗ Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:šŸ‘‡ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg šŸ‘ˆ Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://news.cgtn.com/news/2026-03-16/Iran-says-Israeli-strikes-on-fuel-facilities-caused-ecocide--1Lz3dPNMixa/p.html
