Accra:According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Iran's Vice President and Head of the Department of Environment, Shina Ansari, announced that the country has documented reports on environmental damage caused by war. These reports detail the release of pollutants, harm to biodiversity, and destruction of natural and wetland habitats. The documentation will be used at international environmental summits for legal pursuits.

Ansari made these comments at the 'Ecocide The Silent War Crime' conference, emphasizing the need to examine the environmental damage from the 12-day war and the third imposed war. The reports have been prepared in written form and are intended to be presented at an upcoming environmental summit in Turkey, which will focus on climate change.

She highlighted significant incidents of environmental damage, including the explosion of fuel tanks in Tehran and Karaj and damage to petrochemical facilities in Assaluyeh. Ansari stressed that such aggressions can disrupt global efforts to combat climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, with effects extending beyond geographical borders.

Despite the US withdrawal from several environmental agreements, Ansari emphasized the importance of continuing to raise these issues on a global scale. She also mentioned the summit of Caspian Sea littoral states in Turkmenistan, where discussions focused on the declining Caspian Sea level and its ecological impact, calling for cooperation among the coastal countries.

Iran remains committed to participating actively in international environmental efforts, including the 17th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity in Turkey. The meeting will address increasing support and international cooperation for protecting endangered species.
