Gulf Tanker Oil Spill
Satellite images on November 8 showed a large oil slick in the Gulf of Oman off Fujairah. The TankerTrackers platform said it originated from the tanker *Viera*, which carried around two million barrels of Basrah crude on October 28. According to Al Jazeera’s analysis, the slick stretched for more than 36 kilometers, though its source has not been independently verified. The images also showed a burning vessel near Musandam Governorate, while Iran reported fires and explosions aboard three tankers in the Strait of Hormuz; the circumstances of the incidents have not been independently established. Despite the risks, shipping data showed 12 vessels crossing the strait in both directions yesterday and today through 2 p.m., following seven incidents in which ships were targeted during the first five days of November.
