Gulf oil slicks pose environmental risk
Satellite images revealed the presence of two oil slicks in the Persian Gulf waters near Qeshm Island, amid growing fears of a potential environmental disaster in the area. One of the slicks is located off the southern tip of Qeshm and contains heavy fuel oil, stretching approximately 160 kilometers, and is believed to have resulted from a shipping vessel leak. The second slick is situated near Siri Island and is attributed to a leak from another cargo ship, with warnings of escalating environmental damage if the spill continues. These incidents come amid increasing tensions between Iran and the United States and heighten the risk of oil pollution in the region.
