Kharg exports crude oil to China
Most of Iran’s oil is exported from Kharg Island, a large part of which is sent to China. China is the world’s largest importer of crude oil and has taken several steps, including a ban on exports of refined fuel, to secure supplies due to the growing crisis in the Middle East.
US President threatened
US President Donald Trump threatened on Friday (March 13, 2023) that if Tehran does not stop attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz, the oil-related infrastructure of Kharg Island could be targeted.
Shortly after the bombing, Trump said in a post on Truth Social that military bases on Kharg Island had been completely destroyed in one of the most powerful bombing campaigns in the history of the Middle East.
