Oil infrastructure near Tehran caught fire in March after Israeli strikes, releasing toxic fumes that spread across a region the size of Italy. The fire produced emissions that remained detectable far beyond the immediate blast zone.
Measurements showed the fumes extended across a geographic footprint roughly equal to Italy. The affected zone included populated areas outside Iran.
The strikes preceded the fire by a short interval.
No casualty figures or damage estimates were included in the report.
