Iran’s city of Yazd has been engulfed by a sandstorm which transformed day into night and left many without electricity.

Amazing photos of a sandstorm in Iran show a dense cloud rising and hovering over buildings and roads.

Sandstorms like this occur over desert land and can reach thousands of feet into the air, propelled by strong winds.
