A mysterious attack on an Iranian oil refinery during the Iran war caused an oil spill that affected a nearby Persian Gulf island. 
That's a protected breeding ground for wildlife. 
Videos and satellite photos showed the oil-soaked waves lapping onto Shitwar Island, an uninhabited small island off Iran. 
It represents yet another sign of the ecological damage caused by the weeks-long war, which also saw oily rain fall on Tehran after air strikes targeted oil facilities there. 
Iranian attacks on ships passing through the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz, and the Gulf of Oman also caused environmental damage.
