Iran has reportedly begun dumping oil into the Persian Gulf after running out of storage capacity for excess crude. Images allegedly showing oil residue in the waters around Kharg Island began circulating around 10 days ago, with more continuing to emerge as time has gone on.
Some reports warn that the situation is rapidly becoming an environmental disaster, as Iran’s coastline has reportedly become heavily coated in oil, which is now said to be spreading to the shores of neighboring countries, including Kuwait.

From the wellhead to the sea.
Great minds think alike… where’s Greta and the save the earth crowd now?
Oh… is anti-Americanism more important than the earth?
Huh….
More like too busy giving it away on the party boats...
Better be careful about the sources of the reporting here. Obviously Iran is expected to deny it, and that should be suspect, but this needs to be so big it is undeniable before drawing the conclusion that they’re out of capacity, can’t process or sell enough, and are dumping to save their wells.
Well, I surmise that she had the dude removed because he showed no interest in getting with her. Which is actually admirable since he didn’t want to take advantage of someone ‘on the spectrum’.
Is a bad pickle. Storage is full. If you shut off the field, it becomes extremely difficult to restart it. Do you lose an oilfield forever? Or do you do a spill?
Sucks. I hope they don’t make the Middle East dirty. Is so clean over there
Mechanically that is probably correct.
Right.
Another thing Trump has revealed is how aligned Iran and the IRGC are with EU globalists
Their leaders, media, controlled NGOs and domestic US allies/agents want us to believe Iran is powerful, controls the Persian Gulf, controls the Straits, and of course, will outlast Trump.
Sounds like a SPECOPS team needs to visit the irgc command folks.

There’s some truth there but it can be somewhat mitigated and minimized.
Iran has a domestic population of over 90 million people with many domestic vehicles requiring petroleum derived products. The Iranians managing the oil fields can choose which wells and fields are cut off or have production lowered so that permanent damage can be minimized.
Proper fertilization is key.
The Hair-Raising Solution to Oil Spills
I have posted here many times that we are dealing with an apocalyptic Muslim cult, that believes it is their job to usher in their Twelver Shiite end times era of chaos. This chaos that the Mahdi/Shiite savior emerges from to set everything right.
Wild bullshyte fantasy, but the Ayatollahs and IRGC believe this. I bet this was cooked up while smoking hashish. The preferred form of cannabis for centuries, in that part of the world.
A lot of folks don’t get that they don’t give a sh*t what the rest of the world wants. 12th iman full speed ahead!
Trump now plays the environment card as he occupies Karg island.
The USA has oil reserves underground in salt mines, or so I have heard. Why can't Iran transport excess oil to mountain lake beds or underground caverns (like the ones they built for nuclear development)? Very short-sighted of them to dirty up the ocean.
How Dare You!!
Would it burn?
