President Donald Trump published what appears to be an AI-generated video showing several explosions on Iran's Kharg Island, although Iranian sources did not indicate the island had been targeted by the U.S. military in renewed strikes over the weekend. "Kharg Island being blown to smithereens!!!," Trump said in a post to his Truth Social platform late Sunday. Kharg, sitting just 15 miles off the Iranian mainland, is crucial to Iran's already squeezed economy, accounting for 90 percent of Tehran's oil exports. The chief executive of the state-owned National Iranian Oil Company, Hamid Bovard, told Iranian media Trump's post was "laughable" and activity on Kharg Island was continuing as normal. |
