The damage caused by oil pollution to the region's marine ecosystem could amount to trillions of dollars. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei made the statement in a post on X. Baghaei shared a video showing oil pollution off the coast of Qeshm Island and blamed a foreign vessel for the incident.
According to him, the incident is just one of many examples of large-scale — both visible and hidden — pollution that has degraded the waters of the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman over recent decades, causing trillions of dollars in damage to Iran's coastal areas. The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson also stressed that all participants in commercial shipping should bear both legal and moral responsibility for addressing the environmental damage caused in the region.
