Iraq Hit Kharg Island Nearly 60 Times. Iran’s Oil Exports Rose.

October 31, 2026October 31, 2026 Clark Savage52

The war is in its ninth month and the United States has never taken Kharg.

October 29, 2026October 29, 2026 Clark Savage63

A letter from the Vice President is the most senior American outreach to Tehran in months, and crude drifted lower on the news.
