Armenia is not threatened by the environmental disaster caused by the attacks on Iran’s oil infrastructure. Meteorologists are reassuring the citizens that the toxic smoke and dangerous precipitation that engulfed Tehran will be blown away by the wind.
According to the data of the “Hydrometeorology and Monitoring Center” of the RA Ministry of Environment, air currents are not predicted to enter Armenia from the territory of Iran in the coming days. Experts clarify that the southern cyclones enter the territory of our country mainly from the regions of Iraq, not from Iran. During the next ten days, a steady west-east movement of air masses will be observed in Iran, as a result of which the air currents will be directed from the territory of Iran to Turkmenistan.
The great public interest in weather theory is due to the unprecedented military escalation unfolding in the neighboring country. Let’s remind that since the end of February, the USA and Israel have been carrying out large-scale military operations against Iran. The situation has become extremely aggravated in the last few days, after the targeted strikes on major oil bases and processing complexes near Tehran.
As a result of powerful explosions in fuel storage facilities, the capital of Iran was covered with a thick layer of toxic black smoke, which completely blocked the sunlight. Local residents and international media are warning about the so-called “oil rain”. The highly acidic precipitation mixed with soot and hydrocarbon residues covered the streets of the city with a dangerous layer of black oil.
