Oil spill after the attack on the oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz Are the coasts of Iran in danger? | Cleaning up oil spill pollution is very difficult and time-consuming. An oil spill from an oil tanker led to the pollution of the coastal waters and beaches of Umm Al-Quwain (Umm Al-Quwain) of the United Arab Emirates and to the temporary closure of the coastal areas of this region; The incident that occurred following an increase in attacks on commercial ships in the waters of the region and raised concerns about the environmental consequences of military conflicts in the Persian Gulf. The Emirates authorities announced the temporary closure of all the beaches and coastal areas of Umm Al-Quwain until the end of the technical assessments. Based on the analysis of satellite images, the "Gem No. 2" oil tanker is likely the source of this contamination. This tanker sailed under the flag of Panama, and reports indicate that on October 9, 17/17 and 10 October it was damaged and caught fire after being hit by a missile or a UAV in the waters near the United Arab Emirates. All 22 Indian crew of this ship were saved. The movement of oil slicks depends on factors such as sea currents, winds, waves, the type of material spilled and the location of the accident. Therefore, it cannot be concluded that the contamination will reach the shores of Iran just based on the occurrence of a spill on the coast of the United Arab Emirates. Determining such a possibility requires up-to-date satellite data, flow models and field monitoring. Essar Iran more details Yes Instagram website.
