Iran’s air defense forces have shot down an Israeli surveillance drone over the country's southern Hormozgan province.

US-Israeli strikes on Iran’s Lavan oil facilities triggered a massive petroleum spill now contaminating protected Persian Gulf habitats, threatening endangered turtles, coral reefs, seabirds, and nearly 70 percent of Hormozgan’s coastline.

In Iran’s Hormozgan, handmade wooden lenj boats endure as UNESCO-recognized symbols of Persian Gulf heritage and identity, preserved through history and memory.

Hormozgan province is home to arid deserts, salt flats, mangrove forests, coral reefs, and vividly colored soils, showcasing exceptional biodiversity and establishing it as a leading destination for sustainable, nature-based tourism in Iran.

Iran’s Hormozgan islands blend ancient trade, geopolitics, and modern development, spanning Qeshm’s ecology, Kish’s free-zone capitalism, Hormuz’s strategic strait, and resilient lesser-known islands.
