Satellite Images Show Oil Leak After US Strikes
Satellite images revealed a large oil spill off Khark Island, Iran, following the American strikes aimed at oil tankers in the area in September 2026. These strikes were in response to the launch of ballistic missiles targeting U.S. naval forces. The spill became clearly visible after the strikes and reflects ongoing operational activity at the main oil facility on the island, which is one of the largest oil export hubs in the world with a capacity of up to 7 million barrels per day. US-Iranian confrontations have escalated through attacks on oil tankers, accompanied by repeated threats from Washington. The island faces the risk of an environmental and geological disaster if production remains halted due to sanctions and military strikes.
