Oil slicks spotted near Strait of Hormuz after US strikes on Iran-linked tankers

Satellite imagery from the Copernicus programme shows likely oil slicks about 20 km off the Iranian coast east of the Strait of Hormuz, following US strikes on tankers suspected of ties to Iran's Revolutionary Guard. The slicks suggest damage to vessels, but the extent and source are unconfirmed. This indicates active military operations in a critical chokepoint, raising risks to shipping and regional escalation.
