Satellite images reveal a massive oil slick covering about 45 square kilometers near Kharg Island, Iran's main oil export terminal, as U.S. sanctions increasingly pressure the Iranian regime. Experts suggest that Iran might be dumping excess oil into the Gulf due to its inability to export or store crude effectively amid the U.S. blockade. Miad Maleki, an expert on Iran sanctions, posits that this could result from operational miscalculations or mechanical failures of aging tankers. As a critical chokepoint, Kharg Island handles about 90% of Iran’s oil exports, and its export system is nearing collapse, potentially leading to environmental hazards if the excess crude spills into the sea. #IranSanctions #KhargIsland #oilslick #environment #oilexport #Iran #sanctionsimpact #Gulf #environmentalhazard #oilspill #GulfPollution #IranOilTrade #chuckpointwalker #oilspillresponse https://www.foxnews.com/world/trump-blockade-squeezing-iran-so-hard-regime-may-dumping-oil-gulf-experts-say
