'Aggressors will not return alive!' - Iran's National Security spox assess security at Kharg Island, affirms 'oil exports are proceeding'

"Spokesperson for the National Security Commission of Iran, Ebrahim Rezaei, admitted normal functioning of the oil export sector after his visit to Kharg Island. "Life is continuing and oil exports are proceeding without any problems, and we have not seen any specific issues here. Security is completely established on the island," he said. "Our armed forces are committed and sworn that if any aggressor violates this Iranian island, they will certainly face the harshest response and will not return alive," Rezaei added. The exact date and location of the footage cannot be independently verified. Earlier on March 13, US President Donald Trump released footage purportedly showing US strikes on Kharg Island, which handles roughly 90 percent of the Iran's crude oil exports. US and Israel launched a joint military operation against Iran on February 28, amid diplomatic talks aimed at 'curbing Iran's nuclear and missile programmes'. Tehran responded with retaliatory strikes on Israeli and US assets in the region, accompanied by reports of explosions in several Gulf countries. Iran later confirmed the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, with his son Mojtaba Khamenei named as his successor. The conflict spilt over into Lebanon as Hezbollah intervened 'in revenge' for the killing of the Iranian Supreme Leader. Shipping routes, including the Strait of Hormuz, were disrupted following its closure. The latest escalation has driven oil prices above 100 USD per barrel, rattling global energy markets and sparking protests in several countries"
