TEHRAN -- Iran says it will hold talks with its neighboring countries to find a solution for the dust storms that have been plaguing the region.

“The environmental conditions in the world are changing, so, resources such as water, soil, vegetation, and waste have to be managed,” head of Iran’s Department of Environment (DoE) Ali Salajegheh said Saturday. Iran has already held meetings with Iraq and Syria, and will continue talks with Turkey and the UAE to find a common ground, he said.
