Donald Trump has posted a video on his Truth Social network that appears to show a fake explosion at a major Iranian oil export hub, and falsely claims that it was caused by him.
Teherán califica de “ridículos” los mensajes del mandatario estadounidense sobre la ofensiva a la isla de Jarg y garantiza que responderá a cualquier agresión
The island of Jarg, a key Iranian oil export hub in the Persian Gulf, has been reportedly destroyed, according to a manipulated video shared by Donald Trump on social media. However, Hamid Bovard, head of National Iranian Oil Co., denied the claims, stating that the situation on the island is "calm and normal". The incident comes amid escalating tensions between the US and Iran, with recent mutual attacks and new US sanctions targeting Iran's economy.
The Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global oil supplies, has been largely closed due to the conflict, with only 20 ships passing through daily, down from 130 before the war.
