> Satellite imagery shows oil spreading toward protected coral reefs and mangrove forests as tankers are struck, burned or sunk amid the US-Iran war. Greenpeace has tracked more than 100 spills in the Strait of Hormuz, including slicks near Oman’s Musandam National Park and Iran’s Minab River Delta, warning of an ecological catastrophe whose effects could last for decades.
