Qeshm Oil Spill Blamed on US-Israeli Aggression

A recent oil spill in Qeshm has highlighted the urgent need for Iran to establish its own management mechanism for the strategic Strait of Hormuz, according to a high-ranking official.

Mohammad Javad Gharibabadi, Iran's representative to international organizations, attributed the environmental disaster to US-Israeli aggression against the country.

The oil spill has been largely contained thanks to rapid and effective action from Iranian authorities, but experts warn that the ongoing consequences of foreign military aggression pose a significant threat to the region's marine environment.

Iran has repeatedly targeted by US-Israeli forces, including an attack on its Lavan oil refinery in April that released petroleum contamination into surrounding waters. The incident has raised concerns over the wider ecological damage inflicted by strikes on Iran's oil facilities.
