Iran's Red Crescent society has warned that Tehran may soon be inundated by toxic rain that can cause chemical burns and damage lungs after Israel struck oil facilities in the capital. The Red Crescent society also told citizens to replace their water filtration systems, if possible, as toxic water can destroy older filters. Oil prices have soared since the US and Israel attacked Iran on Feb. 28, reaching its highest levels since 2023. US and Israeli strikes in Iran have killed 200 children and around 200 women, the Iranian Health Ministry said on Sunday. They are among more than 1,200 people killed in the war, spokesman Hossein Kermanpour said in a social media post.
