US Denies Targeting Key Iranian Oil Terminal Amid Trump's AI-Generated Video Claims
A US official has denied that American military operations targeted Iran's Kharg Island oil terminal during recent regional strikes.
The official, speaking to Reuters on Monday, confirmed that the island's critical infrastructure was not involved in any US military actions.
This clarification comes after a post by President Donald Trump on Truth Social, claiming that 'Kharg Island is being destroyed' alongside an AI-generated video depicting simulated explosions.
Kharg Island holds significant strategic and economic importance for global crude markets and Iranian energy exports.
