Investigated the air pollution caused by Israeli strikes on four fuel storage sites across Tehran and Karaj. Combined atmospheric dispersion modeling (NOAA HYSPLIT), satellite imagery from Meteosat, Sentinel 3, and NASA Worldview, and geolocated eyewitness footage to reconstruct how smoke plumes moved across the city in the 12 hours following ignition, and assessed resulting tank damage at each site.
