    Read excerpt

    President Donald Trump claimed Iran’s energy hub of Kharg Island has been “blown to smithereens” - alongside a AI video of an explosion. The strategically-important location handles some 90 per cent of Iran’s oil exports, and taking it would give the U.S. the ability to disrupt Iran’s energy trade and place enormous pressure on the economy. “Kharg Island being blown to smithereens!!!
