Israel Blames Massive Mediterranean Oil Spill on Iran Eco-Terrorism

4 Mar 2021 Israeli Environmental Minister on Thursday accused Iran of being behind a major oil spill off the Mediterranean coast that caused the largest environmental disaster in Israel’s history, saying it was an act of “environmental terrorism.” The spill, which resulted in the closure of all beaches along Israel’s coastline and caused catastrophic damage to marine life, was traced to a Libyan ship carrying Iranian oil. The Environmental Protection Ministry on Thursday released photos of the Libyan-owned Emerald showing the vessel anchored off Iran’s Kharg Island in January. In a statement, the ministry said the Emerald was smuggling 112,000 tons of crude oil from Iran to Syria at the time of the spill. The ship has since returned to Iran.
