Good morning to readers. #Oil prices have surpassed $90 per barrel (+25% compared to pre-war).

U.S. attacks have exacerbated the water scarcity problem in #Iran. Fereshte rings the alarm as frogs leave her favorite pond and black rain falls in #Tehran. https://www.iranwar.news/p/irans-farmers-confront-a-new-threat

Iran’s farmers confront a new threat: ‘black rain’

Fereshte spent decades working with traditional farmers inside Iran. Now she fears what the war, and its environmental impacts, might do to them.

At the start of March, Iran’s farmers should be preparing for the rainy season.
They sow their crops and wait for the rain.
But this season, when Tehran’s residents looked up at the sky, droplets of oil-infused water fell instead.

On March 8, #Israel attacked fuel depots in #Tehran and the nearby province of Alborz for the first time, filling the sky with dark clouds that rained down.

If these strikes on #Iranian #oil infrastructure continue, they could pose a threat to small-scale, traditional farmers, who rely heavily on rain and water supply systems.
