💨 Abstract

Kharg Island in Iran reportedly experienced several large explosions, with Iranian media attributing the attacks to the U.S. and Israel. The island, crucial for Iran's oil exports, is a strategic location in the Strait of Hormuz. President Donald Trump had previously threatened to target the island's infrastructure if attacks on vessels in the Strait continued. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warned of retaliation if Iranian energy assets were attacked.
