War Torn Tehran Records Cleaner Air Than Pollution Hit Delhi

Despite ongoing military strikes and fires in war‑torn Tehran, the Iranian capital has recently recorded air quality readings that are cleaner than in heavily polluted Indian cities like New Delhi and Bengaluru, according to recent air quality data. Tehran’s Air Quality Index (AQI) was reported in the good range (around 33–42), while many Indian cities were in the unhealthy or poor category due to chronic pollution problems.
