Iran denies reports of oil leak near Kharg Island hub

Iran denied reports of an oil leak near its Kharg Island export hub following satellite imagery showing a slick. Satellite data from earlier in the week appeared to show a large slick west of the terminal. Any disruption to the export facility could affect global crude oil supply stability.

### Technical Inspections Find No Damage Abbas Asadzadeh, chief executive of the Iran Oil Terminals Company, said inspections found no evidence of leaks from storage tanks, pipelines, loading facilities, or tankers operating near the island.
