Large oil slick detected off key Iranian oil depot, satellite images show - (Khaleej Times - May 9th, 2026)
It should be noted that Kharg is very close to protected wetland and nature reserves, this slick is endangering those areas. The US is not denying that they have hit the island and Iran have not admitted releasing oil on purpose....both are very much possible.
