Oil spills from Iranian tanker attacks have washed up on UAE beaches, Bloomberg reports.

E14 places every story on a stack of fifteen floors, from the fields under everything to the planet acting as one. This one sits on E7, ecosystems; the pressure it names: environmental damage. Its words also reach E3 chemistry, E11 organizations, E6 organisms, E12 states and E10 institutions.
Here it is a dynamic between ecosystems, chemistry and organizations: beach closures, desalination plants and coastal ecosystems (E7 ecosystems), with oil spills (E3 chemistry), and Iranian tanker (E11 organizations).
