Iran: U. S., Israel committing 'manifest environmental crime'

[Reported by Damien Gayle, The Guardian]

'Iran has appealed to the United Nations to condemn the United States and Israel for a “manifest environmental crime” over the bombing of fuel storage facilities in Tehran and other cities over the weekend.

'The attacks led to the falling of acid rain across Tehran, as well as the spreading of clouds of smoke so thick they blocked out the sun and caused respiratory problems and skin irritation to residents.'
------------------------------------
Besides the widespread, immediate slaughter of children, women and men, and the deaths of many soldiers, is the accelerating destruction of the environment and threats to the health of millions of people, animals and the earth.
