Video: Irans Hormuz coast turns red overnight: Is it a toxic warning or rare natural marvel? Heres what scientists say

Hormuz Island in Iran has turned a striking blood-red after recent heavy rains. This natural phenomenon occurs as iron-rich soil washes into the sea. Scientists explain the island's unique geology causes this vibrant display. The red colouration is temporary and harmless to humans and marine life. The island's iron-rich earth is also used traditionally as a pigment.
