According to the Met Department, westerly winds entering Pakistan from Iran were expected to bring rainfall until March 12.
However, these weather systems were also drawing attention because Iranian oil fields and refineries had been repeatedly targeted during the ongoing conflict, causing significant environmental damage in the region.
