Hours before announcing the cancellation of a planned attack on Iran, President Donald Trump stated that U.S. forces would soon seize Kharg Island. The island, located 55 kilometers northwest of Bushehr port and 15 nautical miles from Iran’s mainland, handles about 90 percent of the country’s crude oil exports and is under strict military control.
Kharg Island, only eight kilometers long and four to five kilometers wide, benefits from deep surrounding waters that allow large supertankers to anchor safely. It serves as a key terminal for crude oil shipments, particularly to Asian markets such as China. The island’s facilities reportedly have a loading capacity of around seven million barrels per day, though Iran’s current exports hover near 1.6 million barrels daily.
Analysts fear that any U.S. attack on Kharg could sharply escalate tensions, prompting Iranian retaliation against Gulf infrastructure and driving global oil prices higher. The ongoing Iran conflict is already viewed as a threat to the world economy.
