TEHRAN, April 7, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - US-Israeli strikes have hit the key Iranian oil export terminal of Kharg island, media reported Tuesday. "The American-Zionist enemy has carried out several attacks on Kharg island, and several explosions have been heard there," Iran's Mehr news agency reported. However, The New York Times quoted an unidentified White House official saying that the targets on Kharg Island were military. Kharg Island is at the heart of Iran's oil export industry, a lynchpin of the country's battered economy, and lies in the narrow, strategic Hormuz Strait. On March 13, the United States said it bombed more than 90 military targets on the island, without hitting oil infrastructure.
