Iran threatens attacks on oil infrastructure after US hits Kharg Island
Iran’s armed forces warned that any attack on the country’s oil and energy facilities would trigger retaliation against energy infrastructure linked to companies cooperating with the United States in the region. The warning followed claims by Donald Trump that U.S. forces had destroyed military targets on Iran’s key oil hub, Kharg Island.

The Iranian armed forces said Saturday that any attack on Iran's oil and energy infrastructure will lead to attacks on energy infrastructure owned by oil companies cooperating with the United States in the region, Iranian media reported.
The warning came after President Donald Trump said that the United States destroyed military targets on Iran's main oil hub of Kharg Island. The island serves as the export terminal for 90% of Iran's oil shipments.
