Explosions have reportedly rocked the strategic Iranian energy hub, which handles about 90% of the country’s oil exports
The US has struck more than 50 military targets on Iran’s Kharg Island, including bunkers, radar systems, and ammunition depots, according to Iranian and Western media reports.
Explosions were reported at the island’s oil terminal – a critical hub for Iran’s exports – with no immediate confirmation of casualties or damage. The strikes come hours before a deadline set by US President Donald Trump over the Strait of Hormuz, marking a sharp escalation in the conflict.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards warned of broader retaliation, saying any crossing of Tehran’s “red lines” would trigger a response “beyond the region,” adding that it would target infrastructure “to deprive the United States and its allies of oil and gas in the region for years.”
