This handout image taken on March 7, 2026 by the European Space Agency (ESA) captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite shows a view of Iran's Kharg Island, which hosts the country's main crude export terminal and is responsible for the overwhelming majority of its oil shipments to the world, about 30 kilometres south of the mainland in the north of the Gulf. The island handles roughly 90 percent of Iran's crude exports, according to a JP Morgan note released on March 8.
