Iran’s Fars news agency is reporting that thick smoke has been seen rising from Iran’s Kharg Island, but that Iranian forces continue to operate from there despite Trump’s claims the US “obliterated” military targets on the island.
“The reactivation of defences on the island within an hour after that round of attacks on Kharg invalidated [Trump’s] claim,” Fars reports.
Fars also reported that more than 15 explosions were heard on the island during the attacks, citing sources in the field.
The sources said that no oil infrastructure was damaged in the attacks.
