Iran has been moving additional troops and air defense systems to Kharg Island in the Persian Gulf amid reports of a possible US attempt to land on the island, CNN reported on Wednesday, citing multiple informed sources.
According to the report, Iran deployed Man-Portable Air-Defense Systems (MANPADS) to the island and also laid anti-personnel and anti-armor mines in the waters around it. Kharg Island is located in the northern Persian Gulf, approximately 30 kilometers from the coast of mainland Iran. It contains energy infrastructure through which Tehran exports most of its crude oil.
Earlier today, Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said Tehran had information that enemy countries were preparing an operation to seize one of Iran's islands, although he did not specify which one.
