Tehran: Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs, Kazem Gharibabadi, states that the recent oil pollution along the shores of Qeshm Island in Iran is a result of foreign military aggression in the region.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Gharibabadi emphasized the environmental damage to Iran's Persian Gulf coastline in a post on his X account early on Friday. He highlighted the urgent necessity for Iran, as a littoral state, to establish and execute a management mechanism for the Strait of Hormuz.
