TEHRAN, April 4 (AFP) : Iran's oil exports from the key island of Kharg have increased even as the war with the United States and Israel rages, Iranian media reported on Saturday.
"Following the visits carried out and meetings held on Kharg island, I must say that in recent days not only have oil exports not decreased, but they have increased," ISNA news agency quoted Moussa Ahmadi, the head of the Iranian parliament's energy commission, as saying.
Kharg Island, located off Iran's western coast, is a vital oil export terminal for the country.
US President Donald Trump has recently threatened to destroy the island if a deal to end the war is not reached soon and the Strait of Hormuz does not "immediately" reopen.
On March 13, the US said it had bombed military targets on the island but refrained from hitting oil infrastructure there.
