"An exhibition hosted by the Tehran Holy Defence Museum and Garden displays documents and evidence showcases the environmental damage caused by the US-Israeli war on Iran. Footage captured on Sunday shows solar panels damaged by the war and images of the child victims from the bombing of Minab school, with several ambassadors and representatives of countries in attendance. "Reportedly, nearly 10,000 hectares of forests and rangelands across the country have been destroyed by fire," noted Mohammad Sadegh Bagh-khanipour, General Manager of Environment and Sustainable Development of Tehran Municipality during the event. "This environmental damage is not limited to the people of Iran, it will certainly affect all countries," he added. Bagh-khanipour explained that environmental damage includes pollution of the air, water and soil, with radiation and forest fires further adding to the destruction of agricultural land and crops. On February 28, the United States and Israel had launched a joint military operation against Iran. Tehran confirmed the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and appointed his son Mojtaba Khamenei as his successor. Tehran responded by launching missile attacks targeting Israel and several countries across the region. On April 8, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a two-week truce with Iran to allow for negotiations aimed at reaching an agreement to end the crisis, later extending it 'until Tehran submits its proposals', without specifying a timeframe. Islamabad hosted a round of negotiations between the United States and Iran on April 11, mediated by Pakistan, which did not produce an outcome. The scheduled second round between the two countries has not yet taken place, as diplomatic efforts continue. Since the truce took effect, movement through the Strait of Hormuz has been restricted, and the US Navy has since maintained a blockade of Iranian ports. "
