There is a tense situation after American air strikes on Iran’s strategically important Kharg island. According to local sources, during the attack, several continuous explosions were heard on the island and smoke was seen rising from some areas. However, preliminary reports say that there has been no damage to Iran’s vital oil infrastructure in these attacks.
More than 15 explosions were heard during the attack
Field sources said that during the attacks, more than 15 explosions were heard on Kharg Island. According to eyewitnesses, after the explosions, dense smoke was seen rising from some parts of the island, which can be gauged from the seriousness of the situation.
Military bases were targeted
According to sources, the enemy mainly tried to target military establishments in the attacks. These included the army’s air defense system, Joshan naval base, airport control tower and continental shelf helicopter hangar.
There was no damage to the oil infrastructure
According to information received from the field, despite these attacks, no major oil related structure of the island has been damaged. Kharg Island is considered very important for Iran’s oil exports, hence special caution is being taken regarding the security of this infrastructure.
Iran warns about consequences of attack on energy infrastructure
Iran had already warned that if its energy infrastructure was targeted, it would have serious consequences. Iran says that in such a situation, the oil and gas structures present in the entire region in which America and its allies have stake can be targeted.
Trump claims: All military bases on target
After the attacks, US President Donald Trump claimed that America had targeted all the military targets on Kharg Island. Earlier it was claimed by the enemy that the air defense system of the island has been completely destroyed. But air defense activities were seen again only about an hour after the attack, which has raised questions on these claims.
Missile and drone attacks continue
Trump has already claimed to completely destroy Iran’s missile capabilities. However, the series of missile and drone attacks by Iran has now reached the 48th round, due to which the tension in the region has increased further.
