The U.S.-Israeli criminal war against the Iranian nation has entered a dangerous new phase with deliberate strikes on Iran's energy infrastructure.

Axar.az reports Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei described the attacks as a deliberate assault on the Iranian people.

"These attacks on fuel storage facilities amount to nothing less than intentional chemical warfare against the Iranian citizens.

By targeting fuel depots, the aggressors are releasing hazardous materials and toxic substances into the air, poisoning civilians, devastating the environment, and endangering lives on a massive scale. The consequences of this environmental and humanitarian catastrophe will not be confined within Iran's borders.

These strikes constitute war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide—all at once," he wrote on X.

Following the attacks on Tehran’s oil facilities, the city reportedly experienced “black rain,” raising concerns about environmental and public health impacts.
