The spokesperson for the Central Headquarters of Khatam al-Anbiya has shared a statement appearing to respond to Trump’s claims about a US attack on Kharg Island.

The spokesperson, according to Iranian media reports, said that if Iran’s oil infrastructure is attacked, “all the oil and energy infrastructure belonging to oil companies across the region that have American shares or cooperate with the United States will be destroyed and turned into a pile of ashes”.

Thick smoke seen rising from Kharg Island but Iran’s military remains intact: Report

Iran’s Fars news agency is reporting that thick smoke has been seen rising from Iran’s Kharg Island, but that Iranian forces continue to operate from there despite Trump’s claims the US “obliterated” military targets on the island.

“The reactivation of defenses on the island within an hour after that round of attacks on Kharg invalidated (Trump’s) claim,” Fars reports.

Fars also reported that more than 15 explosions were heard on the island during the attacks, citing sources in the field.

The sources said that no oil infrastructure was damaged in the attacks.
