Trump's blockade squeezes Iran so hard it may start dumping oil into Gulf
Experts say Iran's regime may be dumping oil into the Gulf due to a massive suspected oil slick spreading near its main oil export terminal, Kharg Island.
A blockade by the US and its allies is causing Iran significant economic strain, leading some experts to suggest that the country may be dumping oil into the Gulf in an attempt to maintain export levels, potentially compromising its main oil export terminal near Kharg Island. Satellite imagery has revealed a massive suspected oil slick spreading in the area, which could be evidence of Tehran's oil infrastructure buckling under pressure. The consequences of such actions are unclear, but they would likely have significant regional and global implications.
