The Associated Press has reported that an oil spill is apparently leaking from the western part of Khark Island, Iran's main crude oil export terminal in the Persian Gulf.
Ami Daniel, CEO of the maritime intelligence company "Windward AI," told AP that approximately 80,000 barrels of oil have leaked from Khark Island since Tuesday.

Fox News, citing experts, says this could be a sign of the collapse of the Islamic Republic's oil infrastructure, which is under increasing pressure from the United States.

According to analysts quoted by Reuters, the spill, visible in Copernicus Sentinel satellite images between Wednesday and Friday, has covered an area of approximately 45 square kilometers off the western coast of Khark Island.

U.S. officials have repeatedly stated that with the maritime blockade of the Islamic Republic, oil reserves in Iran will soon be filled, forcing the regime to reduce its production, which could cause permanent damage to the extraction rates from oil wells.

Now, the suspicious oil leak in the sea has raised the theory that the Islamic Republic is dumping its oil into the sea.
