This can’t be good for anyone’s health. Videos of “Black Rain” in Tehran have surfaced across social media on Monday. In the videos, rain saturated with oil can be coming down from the skies after Israel launched dozens of airstrikes against Iran’s oil depots. Take a look: NEW: Black rain pours down on Tehran, Iran following Israeli strikes on oil facilities Saturday night. “I want to show you something…” CNN’s @fpleitgenCNN said. “This is a white car … the rain is actually apparently saturated with oil. You can see on my finger that it's… pic.twitter.com/np6HNDDLcV — Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) March 8, 2026 Forbes reported more on the black rain: Black clouds gathered over Tehran and rain saturated with what appeared to be oil fell on the city after Israeli air strikes hit oil refineries and infrastructure overnight—one day before Iran’s Assembly of Experts told state media it came to a consensus to pick a new supreme leader. In a pair of statements on Telegram, Iran’s Red Crescent Society warned the rain in Tehran could be contaminated with “toxic hydrocarbon compounds,” as well as “sulfur and nitrogen oxides”—which cause acid rain with the potential to cause chemical burns and lung damage. The clouds formed after Israel targeted an oil storage facility in Tehran in late-night strikes on Saturday, the Associated Press reported, as the war takes a significant toll on the oil industry across the Middle East and threatens to raise oil prices even higher. The medical society warned people in Tehran to shelter indoors and cover any openings with damp pieces of cloth, and remove any clothes contaminated by the rain water and seal them in a bag. After the rainfall, the Red Crescent also recommended people in Tehran pressure wash their vehicles and exteriors of their homes to prevent buildup that can then flow back into the air as “toxic dust.” Footage from CNN appears to show oil building up in the rainwater after the strikes, and a photo released by the Red Crescent shows a medical worker’s white uniform covered in black droplets. Here were the attacks that led to the black rain: Tehran's drains are still exploding after U.S.-Israel hits on oil depots, transforming the city into a hazard zone.pic.twitter.com/Ph2s8sBiTR https://t.co/VKi3sMjGDY — Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal) March 9, 2026 BREAKING: Israel has reportedly just STRUCK 30 Iranian oil storage tanks, with one oil refinery in Tehran spotted BURNING UP Absolutely wild footage. Israel and the US are fully bent on CRIPPLING the Islamic regime.pic.twitter.com/7GKShhD0f8 — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) March 7, 2026 Axios reported, the United States believes Israel went too far in the strikes: Israel’s strikes on 30 Iranian fuel depots Saturday went far beyond what the U.S. expected when Israel notified it in advance, sparking the first significant disagreement between the allies since the war began eight days ago, according to a U.S. official, Israeli official and a source with knowledge. The U.S. is concerned Israeli strikes on infrastructure that serves ordinary Iranians could backfire strategically, rallying Iranian society to support the regime and driving up oil prices. The Israeli air force’s Saturday strikes created large fires in Tehran, igniting flames visible for miles and blanketing the capital in heavy smoke. The IDF claimed in a statement that the fuel depots “are used by the Iranian regime to supply fuel to different consumers including its military organs.” An Israeli military official said the strikes were intended in part to tell Iran to stop targeting Israeli civilian infrastructure.
