At least 31 people lost their lives and 71 others injured in flood and thunderbolt in many Iranian provinces over the past three days, the head of Iran Emergency Medical Service says, Press TV reports.
Pirhossein Kolivand added that several northwestern, northeastern, northern, central, western and southern Iranian provinces were hit by climate-related disasters, including floods, lightening and storms, between May 29 and 31.
He said flash floods killed six people and injured 12 while 25 others were killed and 29 were wounded by lightening across the country.
Massive downpours began sweeping Iran on March 19, with raging currents of water battering houses, washing away cars and killing people in a few provinces.
