The United States has struck dozens of Iranian military facilities on Kharg Island in the Persian Gulf, located 25 km off the Iranian coast. This was reported by UNN with reference to NBS News.
Details
According to the US military, the operation involved airstrikes along the northern coast of the island and did not involve US troops on the ground.
These strikes were not aimed at oil facilities, but instead targeted military bunkers and warehouses, air defense systems, and other military facilities.
Additionally
The island is located 25 km off the coast of Iran and 483 km northwest of the Strait of Hormuz. It is a key oil export hub for Iran and was previously considered a potential site for a US ground operation.
Recall
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps attacked a petrochemical complex in Jubail, Saudi Arabia, on Tuesday, April 7. Tehran stated that the attacks were "a response to the enemy's crimes during the aggression against the Asaluyeh petrochemical plants in Iran."
UNN also reported that Iran's new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is incapacitated and undergoing treatment in the holy city of Qom, 150 km south of Tehran.
