Iran Defies Trump: Oil Operations Continue Uninterrupted on Kharg Island

Iran's National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) has denied reports that the country's key oil hub, Kharg Island, had been destroyed following a recent attack. According to Nour News, citing NIOC CEO Hamid Bovard, oil operations on the island have continued uninterrupted despite previous bombardments by US and Israeli forces.

Bovard stated that contractors are currently rebuilding and upgrading storage tanks and marine terminals on the island, which handles 90% of Iran's oil exports. This work is a testament to the resilience of Iranian oil workers who have kept operations running despite repeated attacks.

In response to US President Donald Trump's claim that Kharg Island had been destroyed, Bovard called Trump's posts 'ridiculous' and stated that the situation on the island remains calm.
