The environmental disaster of oil and war
"The effects of large-scale oil pollution remain detectable for decades."
"Since the US war on Iran began in February, there have been hundreds of oil spills, posing a ‘generational’ threat to wildlife."
"The vast, dark slicks in the strait of Hormuz are visible from space. Throughout October, oil tankers were struck by missiles or sea mines in the waterway and spilled crude into the sea. The pollution has spread across the Gulf, contaminating coastlines and threatening to cause lasting damage to marine ecosystems that are home to dolphins, sea turtles and countless species of fish."

Since the war began on 28 February, Greenpeace has identified more than 500 instances of oil spills through satellite monitoring across the Gulf, the strait of Hormuz and the Arabian Sea" >>.
