The disruptions in the Middle East caused by the Iran War, and an increase in sea traffic traveling around the Cape of Good Hope instead of through the Red Sea, could cause damage to whales within the region as a consequence of collisions between them and the vessels, as highlighted in a study headed by Els Vermeulen, Professor of the Whale Unit at the University of Pretoria. There is limited evidence of this due to how deep offshore the collisions likely will be, but the risk is still high nonetheless. The war in Iran has heavily impacted oil prices, but the damage done here to the environment should still be considered, and is still one more negative impact caused by this conflict.
