Oil spill spotted near Iran export terminal on Kharg Island, AP reports

An oil slick covering approximately 71 square kilometres was detected off Iran's Kharg Island oil export terminal beginning Tuesday, with satellite imagery reviewed by the Associated Press showing expansion through Friday, though the U.S. Department of War declined to comment on whether recent strikes caused the spill. The source of the spill remains unconfirmed; Windward AI maritime intelligence detected the slick, but no official statement has attributed it to military activity.
