- The United States carried out air strikes on military targets on Kharg Island, the main oil export hub of Iran.
- It is located in the northern Persian Gulf, about 50–55 km from the Iranian mainland and northwest of Bushehr port.
- Kharg Island is a five-mile-long coral island formed from coral limestone deposits.
- Unlike many islands in the Gulf, it has natural freshwater resources, which supported settlements in the past.
- It lies close to the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important oil shipping chokepoints.
