High air pollution has forced Iranian authorities to close all schools and kindergartens in the capital for two days beginning Sunday, saying the pollution had reached dangerous levels.

Iranian state television said on Saturday that a government committee had ordered the schools’ closure because of the “polluted and unhealthy” weather. The government has also closed schools in the large cities of Isfahan and Arak.

The skies over Iran’s capital, Tehran, are among the most polluted in the world, and health experts say many Iranians suffer serious health problems as a result.

Iran has twice closed schools and government offices because of air pollution, most recently in 2010.

        There is only one saleable reason for nuclear, although the need is because of increased populations – who will die with the results of the ‘need’ for electricity produced by other than natural sunlight and moving air and water…

        Here’s some good B&W pictures ….
        “Coal generates more than a third of Britain’s electricity, but it is cheaper to import coal from countries such as Russia, South Africa and Colombia than to mine it in the UK,” concluded the MP.

      This show took place in Iraq, this could never happen in Iran. The head raghead would never allow such enjoyment, now go pray for forgiveness and sacrifice a goat or something to appeases the angry gods.
