On Sunday, an attack on a fuel depot in Tehran resulted in large plumes of smoke that covered the capital's sky, causing authorities to issue alerts for possible acid rain in the area. This incident follows a series of coordinated attacks by the United States and Israel against an oil refinery in the city, which led to fires and explosions at fuel-related facilities, releasing significant amounts of smoke and pollutants into the atmosphere.

The pollution from the explosions was severe enough to obscure daylight in parts of the city, described by locals as turning the 'day into night.' The dark clouds of smoke and debris raised health concerns, prompting local officials to advise residents against going outdoors, and recommending the use of masks if they needed to venture outside. The warnings indicated that the pollution levels could lead to acid rain in the following days, further impacting the environment and public health.

Authorities are closely monitoring the situation, as the combination of smoke and potential acid rain poses risks to both air quality and health, especially in a region already facing challenges related to pollution. This event serves as a stark reminder of the environmental consequences of military actions and the importance of addressing air quality issues in urban areas at risk of conflict.
