Tehran – The Ministry of the Environment (DOE) has approved the necessary measures to deal with the environmental crisis caused by the war imposed by the country’s Zionist regime.
At a meeting on Tuesday led by Doe’s head of Shina Ansari, it was decided to establish technical committees in all state organizations and departments, Isna cited.
Documenting environmental damage, managing hazardous waste, testing soils in affected areas, and developing integrated information systems were among other decisions.
“The intentional creation of an environmental crisis”
The DOE strongly condemned recent attacks by the Zionist regime on fossil fuel storage facilities as a clear violation of its intentional creation of the environmental crisis and its commitment to environmental protection.
The attacks on fossil fuel storage facilities and other devastating explosive actions have caused widespread pollution and environmental degradation, the DOE said in a statement.
In addition to directly threatening public health and local ecosystems, these irresponsible actions have led to the release of toxic and pollutants that have long-term effects on air quality, water resources and natural habitats.
The effects of war on the environment are even known to pose a significant risk to the survival of wildlife.
The threat of anxiety can lead animals to abandon their habitat. Just as Irna quoted environmentalist Muhammad Ali Yektanik said, Imagine how the loud blast would cause the escape.
Most of Iran’s habitat is island-like and surrounded by human structures such as cities, villages and mines, he added.
A variety of animal species, including rams, ewes, goats, buffaloes, leopards, pallas cats, wolves and hyenas, are exposed to the sounds of horrifying explosions that easily destroy behavior and cause flight responses, even in protected areas.
Yektanik said some people return to their habitat, return to their habitat and consider their habitat, but find a place to be occupied by other animals and engage in territorial conflicts.
Sometimes they happen to enter dangerous places. They may easily become targeted by hunters as they are not used to the area.
He noted that by destroying the Earth’s natural hydrological system, the explosion will have a major impact on environmental areas that pose a major risk to animals, leading to material leaks and even widespread fires.
The intentional creation of an environmental crisis is a clear violation of international principles and commitment to environmental protection.
Attacks on energy infrastructure and release of toxic contaminants pose serious threats to local biosecurity.
These vandalism occurs when regional countries are striving to comply with global treaties, including the United Nations Environmental Agreement and treaties related to pollution prevention.
The Ministry of the Environment also called on the United Nations, the United Nations Environment Programme, the International Union for Conservation of Nature, and other regional and global environmental groups to take the necessary actions to stop the destruction and prevent the continuation of such environmental disasters.
When climate change and the environmental crisis are the common challenges facing humanity this century, spreading pollution caused by intentional environmental destruction and military attacks must be met with serious responses from global communities.
The DOE explicitly condemned these actions by international organizations and called for pressure to legal follow-up at international forums and to prevent the continued devastation of local ecosystems.
The Ministry of the Environment announces that it is ready to work with global organisations to address these threats as it is a responsible organisation for the country’s environmental protection and provides documentation and scientific evidence in this regard.
