Alleged US Landing on Iran’s Kharg Island

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Today, we are indeed facing an exceptional development by all standards.

Viewers, we continue with you, and we have initial images

of what appears to be a military operation that took place a short while ago

near the Kharg oil island.

An American special force attempted

to carry out an airborne landing operation

over one of the oil facilities on the island.

But what happened a few minutes after that

completely changed the course of the operation.
