Dust storm hits #Ahvaz again. In recent years, dust storms in the western part of #Iran have grown in frequency and density. It has on occasions caused people serious respiratory problems, sometimes even forcing them to seek hospital care. The storms are believed to be the result of dust being carried by atmospheric circulation from lands to the west of the country. Some have blamed it on the desertification of lagoons in Iraq and the strong winds from the deserts of Saudi Arabia for the blanket of dust reaching Iranian cities. #Khuzestan.
