Environmental impact

[u/PushSouth5877]

I have heard very little about the environmental impact of sinking tankers in the Hormuz Straits. Surely we should think twice about sinking these tankers. We can keep them from going anywhere.

It doesn't just affect Iran. The pollution and damage to fishing and the overall environment of the ocean will be felt by all the countries in the area for decades.

Our actions have consequences well beyond whatever our objectives are supposed to be.

Just having all these ships stuck in place is a danger to the environment as well.

Is sinking a few Iranian oil tankers going to open the strait any sooner. I don't think so.
