Iran on Tuesday said that oil production and exports are continuing without interruption despite recent US airstrikes on Kharg Island, a spokesperson for the parliamentary energy commission told semi-official Tasnim news agency.
The spokesperson said daily life on Kharg Island, Iran’s main oil export hub, was proceeding as usual even after military facilities on the island were targeted by US strikes last week.
Kharg Island accounts for around 90% of Iran’s crude oil shipments and is widely seen as the backbone of the country’s energy exports. During the recent attacks, US forces struck military installations including missile storage areas and defence sites, while media reports suggested that oil export infrastructure was largely left intact.
