(Web Desk) – An uncanny natural event has left people shocked as Blood Rain in Iran painted a beach and seawater red.

The unbelievable video was recorded by @hormoz_omid on Instagram, leading to an outburst of comments on social media.

Some were left speechless, but others guessed that supernatural forces might be at work. However, experts have shed light on the real cause of this beautiful-cum-eerie event.

Blood Rain in Iran: A Natural Wonder

The viral video, uploaded on 22 February, captures the heavy rain that transported red soil down to the beach. Once the water got combined with the soil, the sea turned red, creating an uncanny yet enchanting view.

As per scientific reasons, this is because of the dense amount of iron oxide in the ground. The minerals combine with rainwater and drain into the ocean, which results in a very vivid red colour. Hormoz Island, where this was recorded, is already famous for its red beaches and colourful landscapes.

The island, situated in the Strait of Hormuz, is commonly referred to as a ‘geological wonder’ because of its multicoloured landscape.

The blood rain effect is not uncommon in Iran. The Iranian Tourism Board states that the soil of the region naturally contains iron oxide, which, when combined with water, creates a red colour. This phenomenon draws numerous tourists who want to see the extraordinary view firsthand.

Social Media Responses And Viral Buzz

The scientific explanation did not hold in the eyes of social media viewers. Some people found it amusing, while others were concerned. A user replied, ‘Meanwhile in Iran, inexplicable blood rain indicates God is getting angry.’

While dramatic to look at, Blood Rain in Iran is a scientifically documented natural phenomenon and not a harbinger of doom. As the clip continues to go viral, it brings out the amazing natural marvels of our world.
