Iran has rejected reports of an oil spill near Kharg Island, describing them as false and unfounded. Abbas Asadoroz, CEO of Iran’s Oil Terminals Company, said that after the reports surfaced, teams from the health, safety, chemical, and laboratory departments inspected the area but found no trace of pollution. He added that neither the International Maritime Organization’s MEMAC center nor Iranian authorities had received any pollution reports from the area.
Asadoroz criticized a post by the NGO Conflict and Environment Observatory on social media platform X, which claimed that an oil slick from an unknown source was spreading southward and was not being properly contained. Meanwhile, Jafar Pourkabgani, a representative from Bushehr in Iran’s parliament, also denied any oil discharge into the sea but suggested that the visible stains were likely waste and oil mixtures dumped from a European tanker, causing environmental harm.
The MEMAC center, a key regional body in the Persian Gulf, coordinates member states in responding to pollution incidents and strengthening preparedness for environmental emergencies.
