Amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, the United States has upped the ante against Iran by carrying out heavy airstrikes on Kharg Island -- Iran's economic lifeline and a strategic defense point in the Persian Gulf.
During the recent attacks, the US forces conducted airstrikes on military installations on Kharg Island, including missile storage areas and other defence sites. According to media reports, the strikes focused on military facilities, while the oil export infrastructure itself was largely left intact.
