Raisi’s Deputy Says Dust is the Enemy’s Work
While only two months have passed since the beginning of the year, according to an announcement by Jundi-Shapur University of Medical Sciences in Ahvaz, more than 12,000 Khuzestani residents have so far sought treatment at medical centers in various cities and districts of the province due to the dust phenomenon.
Meanwhile, Ibrahim Raisi’s deputy says: “The enemy wants to take advantage of environmental problems and create dust to generate public discontent and confront people and countries with difficulties.”
Ali Salajeqeh, stating that the creation of these problems for our country was planned beforehand, said: “The source of the dust that rises from Syria and comes to Iran is from areas where terrorists are in control and constantly conduct military exercises. In Iraq and Yemen, we have also seen the fingerprints of foreign agents in causing the dust phenomenon.”
Stating that the source of fine particles and suspended particles smaller than two and a half microns entering Iran is from neighboring countries, he added: “The first center of dust generation in the region is Saudi Arabia, then Iraq with four identified centers, and Syria with one center of dust generation, which affects our country in this regard.”
The head of the Environmental Protection Organization also said: “The enemies have not allowed agricultural lands and pastures to receive moisture in recent years and to maintain the greenery of the land, which has caused the soil to become completely powdered, and with the slightest wind breeze, even at low speeds, soil particles rise and affect different areas.”
The deputy of the thirteenth government’s president emphasized that in order to solve the dust problem, based on the president’s order, we traveled to Iraq and Syria to create a sense of common affinity and alignment in neighboring countries.
Iran and neighboring countries are scheduled to hold a meeting next week to discuss practical ways to counter dust in the region.
A group of experts believe that in addition to external sources, proper management of water resources, revival of wetlands and lakes within Iran is also necessary to prevent them from becoming centers of dust generation.
