Tehran accelerates infrastructure projects at its primary oil export hub handling 90% of Iranian crude shipments.
Iran is expediting development projects at Kharg Island, its main oil export terminal, to bolster infrastructure resilience amid persistent US threats. The terminal processes approximately 90% of Iran’s crude oil exports, making it a critical asset for the country’s energy sector.
Recent upgrades focus on enhancing safety, equipment reliability, and operational readiness to ensure uninterrupted exports. The move follows repeated warnings from US officials about potential military or sanctions actions targeting Iranian oil facilities.
No immediate market reaction was reported, but the upgrades could reduce supply disruption risks for global oil flows.
