Near Iran’s Kharg Island export hub: Suspected oil spill seen on satellite images

A large oil spill has been detected near Iran’s Kharg Island, potentially the largest since the start of the US-Israel war against Iran. The cause and origin of the spill are currently unknown, raising concerns about disruptions to Iran’s 90% of oil exports. The US Navy continues to blockade Iranian ports, and military clashes between US and Iranian forces persist in the Gulf.
