Oil spills from tankers attacked by Iran in Hormuz reach UAE coastline, report says

United Arab Emirates ·

The Financial Times reported that the first oil spill to reach the coast left dark slicks along beaches. Authorities closed affected beaches in three emirates, and concern has been raised about marine life.

The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow waterway between Iran and Oman through which a large share of the world's seaborne oil passes, and tensions there have repeatedly affected Gulf shipping.
