Kharg-eyja

Staður

Kharg-eyja, also known as Kharg Island, is a continental island in the Persian Gulf, approximately 30 kilometers off the coast of Iran. It serves as Iran's primary oil export terminal, handling about 90% of the country's crude oil and condensate exports. The island is strategically significant due to its deep waters, which allow large oil tankers to dock, and its extensive oil storage capacity. Icelandic media has reported on Kharg-eyja in the context of international conflicts, specifically mentioning that Iranian media claimed no oil facilities were damaged during recent US attacks, despite the island being a critical hub for Iran's oil industry.
