On March 10, 2026, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued a warning regarding potential health risks associated with "black rain" in Iran. This phenomenon is reportedly a consequence of Israeli strikes targeting Iranian oil facilities. The WHO's concern centers on the potential impact on public health, particularly for children. Iranian authorities have responded by advising residents to remain indoors. The advisory is due to fires and heavy smoke resulting from the strikes, which have significantly degraded air quality in affected areas.
