Several Iran provinces shutter public buildings over sandstorm pollution
Public buildings in several Iranian provinces were closed Tuesday due to pollution unleashed by a sandstorm, local media said.
The closures applied to the southwestern province of Khuzestan, the central province of Isfahan, North Khorasan in the northeast and Kerman in the southeast, state television said.
State news agency IRNA reported that state offices continued to function in at least three other provinces that were also hit by the heavy pollution.
