Iranian Oil Production and Exports Continue without Interruption, Official

DUBAI, March 17 (Reuters) - Iran's oil production and exports continue without ​interruption, a spokesperson for the ‌parliamentary energy commission said on Tuesday, adding that daily life ​is going on as ​usual on Kharg island.

Kharg island serves ⁠as Iran's main oil ​export hub, representing 90% of ​the OPEC member's oil shipments. Military assets on the island were struck by ​the U.S. last week.

The ​commission spokesperon, who is also a ‌lawmaker ⁠and was quoted by the semi-official Tasnim news agency, reiterated Iran's threat that any ​foreign attack ​on ⁠Kharg island would lead to "a greater humiliation than ​the Strait of Hormuz", ​where ⁠Tehran has prevented the passage of vessels it says ⁠are ​linked to the ​U.S., Israel and their allies.
