Iran is loading tankers and rushing oil out like it’s a race against time.
Its main oil hub, Kharg Island, is packed to the brim with crude, even though exports jumped 44% in just 5 days.
Satellite pics show tankers hiding far from shore, only darting in last minute to load and get out before the next missile hits.
Israel is already bombing nuclear and energy sites, and the U.S is considering whether it will join in.
If that happens, Iran’s oil trade could take a direct hit…and they know it.
So for now, it’s pump, load, run.

Iran is hastily releasing its oil stored on Kharg Island. The intention is to minimize the damage if the island is destroyed. Iran’s primary oil export terminal, it facilitates the majority of the country’s crude oil exports, which are vital to its revenue. pic.twitter.com/c7PYBy1473
