Multiple oil spills are visible from space after Iranian and US-Israeli strikes hit oil facilities and ships in the region, with experts warning of an impending environmental catastrophe.

Satellite images are giving an insight into destruction in the region, including to the fragile biodiversity of the Persian Gulf. Oil spilt there has the potential to affect the lives and livelihoods of people along the Gulf coastlines, as well as the region’s rich marine life...such as turtles, dolphins and whales that might ingest or become trapped in the oil. They could also potentially affect the filtering systems of desalination plants, on which nearly 100 million people in the region rely for clean water.

“experts warning”

Normals ignoring them. “Experts” have earned that.

Per CNN. Orange man bad. Iran good.

Oddly Iran is odd in the terms of totalitarianism. Totalitarianist kill their people to remain in power such as in many African Nations, Mideast nations such as Iraq and all communists nations. China’s death toll was about 100 million.

What makes Iran unique is their Mullahs interpretation of the Koran justifies it all. But with the Mullahs interpretation where does politics intersect and thus the interpretation of the Koran. In Iran they have become the same.

The only real answer is to just keep killing bad guys.

Is it really so tragic? Remember the Kuwaiti oil fires set by the Iraqis in 1991? There were something like 700 of them and they burned for 9-10 months before those wells were capped. These oil spills in the Strait of Hormuz pale by comparison.

CNN’s Muzzie friends are famous for their oil spills. I got to see them while standing on the planet Earth during Operations Desert Shield and Storm. I didn’t have to see pictures from outer space.
