Fars: Kharg Island defence systems reactivated hour after US attack

US President Donald Trump’s claim that American strikes destroyed air defences on Kharg Island was incorrect, Iran’s Fars News Agency quoted an informed source as saying.

The report said that the island’s defence systems were reactivated about an hour after the attack.

Trump earlier said US forces had “obliterated” military targets on the island, a key hub for Iran’s oil exports in the Persian Gulf.

The Iranian source said the air defence network resumed operations shortly after the strike, disputing the extent of the damage reported by Washington.
