The US-Israel-Iran war has led to black rain and oil spills in
the Strait of Hormuz - is the country facing an environmental
crisis because of Donald Trump?

In this weekend bonus edition of Iran: The Latest, Roland
Oliphant speaks with Kaveh Madani, the award-winning director of
the UN University Institute for Water, Environment and Health and
also an exiled Iranian politician. They examine the live impact
on the ground of the conflict, from power outages to water
shortages.

Plus, Tehran was on the brink of being evacuated due to a major
drought last year, so what happened? Kaveh explains how Iran
narrowly escaped a major catastrophe and the wild war-related
conspiracy theories going around to explain it.
