Araghchi calls Tehran fuel depot strikes “ecocide”

Mar 16, 2026, 02:18 GMT+0

Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said Israeli strikes on fuel depots in Tehran violate international law and amount to “ecocide,” warning of lasting environmental and health consequences.

In a post on X, Araghchi said residents could face long-term harm to their well-being and warned that contamination of soil and groundwater may have generational impacts.

"Israel must be punished for its war crimes,” he wrote at the end.
