Oil pollution on the southern shores of Qeshm Island, which has also reached the island’s mangrove forests, has heightened concerns about environmental consequences on both sides of the Strait of Hormuz, as an oil leak from a stranded tanker has also reached the coast of Oman.

Officials from the Iranian regime have not yet officially announced the source of the Qeshm pollution, but Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei says preliminary evidence indicates it originated from “a foreign bulk carrier.”

Esmaeil Baghaei, the Iranian regime’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, said on the evening of Wednesday, August 12, that pollution had been detected at three coastal locations and across parts of the sea surface, and that it had drifted from the Persian Gulf toward the shore.

…

the ship-tracking website TankerTrackers has claimed the pollution is most likely linked to Iran’s attack on the cargo ship Minoan Pioneer on August 3 in Omani waters, and that the oil slick subsequently drifted with the current through the Strait of Hormuz to Iran’s shores.

My advice to Greta is to stop smoking. I know Europeans smoke more than the US, especially Italy but she's too young to get hooked on that.
