Zakharova says environmental situation will affect not only Iran but entire region
Strikes on Iran’s energy facilities are polluting the surrounding environment, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova has said.
“The munitions contain heavy metals and other toxic substances. This contaminates the soil and is harmful to human health. Debris from destroyed buildings in Iran will pose serious environmental challenges for decades to come,” Zakharova noted.
She stated that the environmental situation will impact not only Iran but the entire region.
