Trump’s war poses a “generational threat” to wildlife in the Persian Gulf
A Guardian article reproduced on Mother Jones as part of Climate Desk reports that eight months of war between the United States and Iran have turned the Strait of Hormuz into a battlefield and growing environmental disaster, with tanker attacks spilling oil across the Persian Gulf and threatening marine ecosystems. Greenpeace has documented more than 500 spills totaling roughly 20,000 square kilometers, while marine biologist Bernhard Riegl warns the damage could be generational, saying "we could really lose something irreplaceable."
