Iran says Israeli strikes on Tehran fuel depots constitute 'ecocide'
Iran's foreign minister said on Monday that Israeli strikes on Tehran fuel depots constituted "ecocide" due to the long-term risks to residents' health. "Israel's bombings of fuel depots in Tehran violate international law and constitute ecocide," Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi posted on X. "Residents face long-term damage to their health and well-being. Contamination of soil and groundwater could have generational impacts," the post added.
