Xark Island is considered the oil heart of Iran's economy.

Although Khark Island is a small landmass located in the waters of the Persian Gulf, it holds decisive importance for the Iranian state. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

This island is the main center of the country's oil exports, and its operation directly affects the stability of the entire economy. If this island were to go out of operation for any reason, Iran's oil transportation process would almost come to a halt.

For this reason, military analysts and experts call Khark the oil heart of Iran's economy. Eight to nine parts out of every ten of the oil exported by the country are delivered to world markets precisely through this island.

Here, modern oil terminals, large warehouses, and special facilities designed for loading tankers are concentrated. Khark Island is located very close to the most important oil routes leading to the Strait of Hormuz, which further increases its strategic importance.

Tankers depart directly from here to global trade routes, delivering oil to international customers. The internal structure of the island is also built with very strong protection.

There are large warehouses here sufficient to store millions of barrels of oil. Many infrastructure facilities are located underground and include robust protection systems.

If this strategic point were to be destroyed, Iran's oil revenues, which the budget depends on, would sharply decrease, and the state economy would suffer a serious blow. Looking back at history, during the Iran-Iraq war, Iraqi aviation attacked Khark Island many times.

Because at that time, this place was considered the weakest and most important point delivering the heaviest blow to Iran's economy. In conclusion, Khark Island is not just a natural area but the only major center of Iran's oil exports and the main artery of economic life.

It serves as the most important logistics point in the Persian Gulf and will never lose its strategic importance for the country's future. The stability of this island determines Iran's position in international trade and its defense is one of the most important concepts of national security.
