Following the recent statement of President Donald Trump that the US destroyed all military targets on Kharg Island and threatened to attack the island’s oil infrastructure if Iran continued to block ships in the Strait of Hormuz in its ongoing offensive military campaign against the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Iran announced that a US strike on its strategic Kharg Island caused no damage to oil facilities, even as it issued a chilling warning that any future attack on its energy infrastructure would trigger retaliatory strikes against all corresponding US facilities in the region.
According to a report made by Anadolu English on Saturday, 14 March, 2026, a Spokesperson from Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central headquarters said that US airstrikes targeted air defenses, a naval base, and airport facilities, resulting in more than 15 explosions and thick smoke, underscoring that the island’s oil infrastructure was undamaged.
