Satellite data has shown the formation of a large-scale oil leak near Kharg Island, one of Iran's largest oil export points. While the exact source and extent of the leak have not yet been clarified, satellite imagery indicates that an area spanning dozens of kilometers has been affected.

Kharg Island is a strategic point through which Iran exports approximately 90 percent of its daily oil production. The possible leak is raising environmental concerns in the region while potentially creating fluctuations in global energy markets. No official statement has yet been issued by Iranian authorities. Oil-dependent countries in the region are closely monitoring developments.
