Pazkhian: attack on fuel tanks in Tehran and Asaloi facilities; released one million five hundred thousand tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere; This contradiction is clear and disturbing.
The President of the Islamic Republic of Iran at the 30th UN Climate Change Conference:
The recent criminal aggression of the USA and Israel towards Iran, in addition to the large dimensions of human and economic damage, caused serious damage to the environment and introduced a huge amount of pollutants and greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
The attack on the Asalouye fuel facilities caused the release of about 500 thousand tons and the attack on the fuel tanks around Tehran caused the release of one million tons of carbon dioxide. Military operations and widespread fires destroy years of climate and environmental efforts and achievements.
