Tehran Closed for 3 Days - Pollution at ‘Emergency Levels’



Officials today ordered offices and schools closed on Saturday in Tehran, adding a third day to weekend holiday of Thursday and Friday. The move was in reaction to the pollution levels reaching "dangerous levels" in the city. 

The city of Isfahan is also experiencing "emergency levels" of air pollution and the residents were urged to leave town if possible.

  1. That's because the fuel is of poor quality and Iranians are a bunch of lazy gits.But the biggest blame is on the regime,because they have caused the sanctions which leads to the under development of the technology required to produce clean burning engines.
    As for their advice for people to leave town.May I suggest the regime should leave Iran because that will lead to huge improvements for the nation and its well being.
