An oil slick covering about 400 sq. km has formed in the eastern part of the Strait of Hormuz after US strikes on several tankers, Armenia Today reported.
According to the report, the pollution was recorded on September 12, 2026. The article says the large slick emerged after strikes in one of the region’s key maritime corridors.
The Strait of Hormuz is a critical route for global energy shipments, so incidents of this kind are closely watched for both their environmental impact and the security of oil transport flows.
