U.S. Launches Major Strike on Kharg Island, Hitting Over 90 Iranian Military Targets

 

This is a view of the pipes and a tanker on Kharg jetty in Iran, the largest in the world, seen July 1971. 


The United States carried out a large-scale precision strike on Iran’s Kharg Island late Friday, targeting more than 90 Iranian military sites, according to U.S. Central Command. The operation focused on naval mine storage facilities, missile bunkers, and other strategic military positions while deliberately avoiding damage to the island’s vital oil infrastructure. 

Kharg Island, a critical hub responsible for the majority of Iran’s crude oil exports, has become a focal point in rising regional tensions. While the strike successfully neutralized key military assets, CENTCOM emphasized that oil facilities were preserved to prevent further destabilization of global energy markets.

The strike marks one of the most significant escalations in the ongoing conflict, underscoring the strategic importance of Kharg Island in both military and economic terms.
