Tehran is the capital of Iran and a city of 10 million people. It is currently newsworthy due to recent US-Israeli air strikes targeting fuel depots and petroleum logistic sites within the city. These attacks, which began around February 28, 2026, have resulted in significant environmental consequences, including black rain and unprecedented levels of pollution. Smoke plumes from burning oil depots have blanketed the city, raising concerns about serious health risks to residents, as warned by the World Health Organization. Analysts suggest that the attacks are aimed at undermining the resilience of the Iranian population. Despite the ongoing war and its impact, life continues in Tehran, with residents attempting to cope with the difficult circumstances.
