American attack on Kharg/What is known about Iran's strategic island

Kharg Island is one of Iran's most strategic points, as it serves as a major oil export hub, processing about 90% of the country's oil exports.

The island is located about 30 km off the Iranian coast and plays a crucial role in global energy supply, especially through sea routes near the Strait of Hormuz.

US forces reportedly carried out strikes on military targets on the island, while US President Donald Trump has stated that only military targets and not oil infrastructure were hit. However, he has warned that energy infrastructure could be targeted if Iran impedes free navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.

Any damage to the infrastructure in Kharg could have a serious impact on global oil markets, as the island is a major hub for Iranian exports and has large oil storage facilities. Experts warn that an escalation could affect global energy supplies and drive up prices on international markets./CNA
