Iranian oil tankers have fled Kharg Island, which handles 90% of the country’s oil exports, amid fears of an Israeli retaliation strike. The exodus follows Tuesday’s massive Iranian missile barrage, with Israel vowing vengeance. The National Iranian Tanker Company (NITC) evacuated its empty supertankers from the island, TankerTrackers reported Thursday. Despite the evacuation, ships are still being loaded at Kharg Island, located in the northern Persian Gulf. US President Joe Biden indicated that an Israeli strike on Iran’s oil infrastructure remains a possibility. This marks the first such evacuation since the 2018 sanctions round. Iran-Israel Conflict: PM Narendra Modi Chairs Cabinet Committee on Security Meet Amid West Asia Crisis.
