US and Israeli strikes on Iranian oil facilities on March 7-8 ignited fires that produced black rain over Tehran, containing soot, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, and acid-forming compounds that pose respiratory and gastrointestinal health risks to residents. While larger particles will settle nearby, fine smoke particles could travel hundreds of kilometers, potentially affecting other Middle Eastern countries and requiring residents to use protective measures and alternative water sources.
