巴拿马籍油轮Gem No.2号在10月9日于霍尔木兹海峡北部遭不明弹体袭击受损1，导致原油泄漏。油污已从受损油轮扩散超过35公里1，并于周四冲上阿联酋乌姆盖恩附近的海滩1，迫使部分海滩关闭。船上22名印度籍船员已全部获救1。
这场环保灾难威胁到该地区的海洋生态。油污正靠近Siniyah和Khor Al Beidah岛屿，这两处是全球公认的关键生物多样性区域1，包括珊瑚、海草和濒危的哈拉维吉他鱼等物种面临威胁。专家表示环境影响"不可避免"1。Gem No.2号是10月初霍尔木兹海峡创纪录船舶攻击事件之一1，安全专家认为这反映了伊朗加强对海峡控制权的努力1。
A Panamanian-flagged tanker, the Gem No. 2, sustained damage after being struck by an unidentified projectile in the northern Strait of Hormuz on October 9-10, resulting in a significant crude oil discharge 1. The spill has now extended more than 35 kilometers across the sea, reaching beaches near Umm Al Quwain and prompting authorities to close sections of the affected coastline 1.
The incident forced the rescue of all 22 Indian crew members aboard the vessel 1. However, the environmental consequences are mounting as the contamination threatens critical biodiversity hotspots in the region, including the Siniyah and Khor Al Beidah islands, which are internationally recognized for their marine ecological significance 1. The affected areas harbor vital species including coral, seagrass, and the endangered Harawwi guitar fish 1. According to environmental scientist Steve Widdicombe, the environmental damage resulting from this spill is "inevitable" 1. The Gem No. 2 incident represents one of a series of vessel attacks recorded in the Strait of Hormuz in early October, with security experts attributing such incidents to efforts aimed at asserting greater control over the strategic waterway 1.
