A day after Environmental Protection Minister Gila Gamliel accused Iran of orchestrating a deliberate oil spill that polluted Israeli shores, new evidence emerges tying the Islamic republic to the incident.
According to imagery provided by TankerTrackers, the suspected tanker Emerald can be see near an Iranian port on January 17.

It is believed that during this port call, near the island of Kharg Island, was loaded with Iranian oil that ended up contaminating Israeli beaches.
There is also satellite imagery showing the tanker in the high seas between Cyprus and Syria. That image appears to confirm that the tanker tried to transfer its oil to an Iranian-flagged tanker with the name Lotus through what is known as a ship-to-ship (STS) procedure.
