  "textContent": "Israel bombed oil processing plants near Tehran. They released toxic smoke which is causing respiratory damage to people in Tehran.\n\n*The Guardian spoke to residents who described having headaches, eye and skin irritation and difficulty breathing. Experts have warned those symptoms could be just the beginning, with long-term risks of cardiovascular disease, cognitive impairment, DNA damage and cancer.*\n\nThis makes two reasons why that bombing is particularly culpable: for grave harm to a substantial fraction of Tehran's population of ten million, and for escalating the war to include attacks on energy infrastructure. Iran threatened to retaliate against the energy infrastructure of the Gulf oil states if Israel (or the US) continues attacking Iran's oil infrastructure.",
