According to Iran's Tasnim News Agency, although some media outlets reported a fire on Kharg Island, satellite image analysis shows that the observed increase in heat signature was not due to a US attack, but rather to the routine, planned combustion of gases from the island's oil facilities, and is unchanged from early January 2026. Therefore, speculation about an attack on Kharg Island's oil infrastructure has not been confirmed.
