Iran has suffered from increased cases of severe dust storms in recent years, as the authorities blamed the crisis for drought as well as the lack of sound management of water and land resources in neighboring countries, especially in Iraq.
The Arab countries in the region have also been subjected to major health problems due to the repetition of dust, sand and air storms in recent years.
