Explosion Reported at Iran's Kharg Island; Tehran Claims Controlled Detonation
💥 KHARG ISLAND — Iran says it blew up its own oil hub on purpose. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Kharg handles ~90% of Iranian crude exports — a real attack collapses Tehran's remaining revenue line. "Controlled detonation" is the standard first denial. Israel and US have motive and precedent. With Fujairah slicks unattributed and Hormuz sealed, a confirmed Kharg strike reshapes the energy map and strips Iran's last economic lever before any MOU.
