Out of 228 legal mandates included in the Clean Air Law, only 28 have been fully implemented, while 138 were partially enforced and 62 remain completely neglected. Despite the escalating health crisis, the authorities have shown no concrete commitment to tackling air pollution, with Rafiei stating, \u201cThe responsible institutions have no serious intention of enforcing the law, and the Environmental Protection Organization has failed to hold these entities accountable.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The financial toll of air pollution is equally staggering, with economic losses in 2023 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.isna.ir\/news\/1403071814123\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">exceeding 597 trillion tomans<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> (approximately USD 9.5 billion).

Rafiei herself, despite being part of the establishment, admitted how the government routinely bypasses the law through contradictory decrees and by granting endless extensions to the very agencies tasked with addressing the crisis. These deliberate delays have turned the Clean Air Law into an empty promise\u2014a law in name only, with no real impact on the ground.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Parliament&#8217;s recent call for government agencies to report on their progress within a month is yet another hollow gesture in a regime that thrives on corruption and inaction. Rafiei&#8217;s threat of referring non-compliant agencies to the judiciary rings hollow, as the very judicial system she refers to is complicit in the regime\u2019s disregard for human lives and environmental destruction.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/society\/irans-air-pollution-crisis-a-silent-killer\/\">Air pollution<\/a> has ravaged cities across the country, from Tehran to Isfahan and Mashhad, where residents breathe in toxic air while the regime\u2019s authorities turn a blind eye. Hospitals are overwhelmed with cases of respiratory diseases, and thousands face premature death due to polluted air.
