A major oil slick from the Minoan Pioneer, attacked in the Strait of Hormuz on 3 August, has washed up on Iran's Qeshm Island, threatening wildlife and protected habitats. Satellite imagery shows the spill spread over 300 sq km, with experts estimating over 100,000 gallons of oil leaked. Cleanup efforts are underway, though the full environmental impact remains unclear.
