Explosions were reported on Kharg Island on Tuesday, a key oil hub near the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian agency Mehr reported blasts on the island. US-based Axios, citing a senior official, said American forces carried out strikes on military targets there. There was no immediate official confirmation from Iran or the US. Donald Trump had earlier warned of action. He wrote the US could “blow up and completely obliterate” Iran’s oil sites and Kharg Island. The development comes as tensions rise in the ongoing conflict in the region. (PC: X)
