Iran claims trillion-dollar pollution damage as Gulf oil spills spread

Oil residues from a struck bulk carrier reached Iran's Qeshm Island and its protected mangrove forests in the Persian Gulf. Separately, a sanctioned Russian shadow fleet tanker grounded off Oman has leaked a slick covering more than 2,000 square kilometres, fouling 40 kilometres of Omani coastline. Iran is claiming trillion-dollar damages from the pollution.
