Why Kharg Island is central to Iran’s oil exports. Kharg Island sits at the heart of Iran’s oil export infrastructure in the northern Gulf, making it one of the most strategically important energy hubs in the region. Located about 25km off Iran’s southern coast, the island hosts the country’s main oil export terminal, where crude from oil fields across Iran is stored and loaded onto tankers for shipment to international markets.
