Iran restricts evacuation of technical staff from Kharg Island

US forces conducted strikes on Kharg Island early Saturday, targeting over 90 military installations, including missile depots and naval facilities. Workers at Iran’s vital oil export terminal have requested evacuation due to ongoing dangers, but authorities are insisting operations must continue. Fires on the island pose risks of catastrophic explosions, exacerbating concerns for the safety of the over 7,000 personnel working there. Iran’s oil infrastructure has, for now, been spared from further attacks on humanitarian grounds.
