The Fars news agency, citing sources on the island, reported there had been no damage to oil facilities after US President Donald Trump said US strikes had destroyed only military targets.
Trump had threatened in a social media post to target oil infrastructure on the island, a crucial hub for Iran, if Tehran continues to block the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
The speaker of the Iranian parliament, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, had warned that such strikes would provoke a new level of retaliation.
Ebrahim Zolfaghari, spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, warned they will target “all oil, economic, and energy infrastructures belonging to oil companies across the region that have American shares or cooperate with America.”
On Saturday, Iran’s joint military command reiterated its threat that it will attack the U.S.-linked oil and energy facilities in the region if the Islamic Republic were hit.
According to Fars, the US operation "tried to damage the army's defences, the Joshan naval base, the airport control tower and the helicopter hangar of the Iran Continental Shelf Oil Company."
It reported at least 15 explosions followed the strikes, which it said targeted an air defence facility, a naval base, the airport control tower, and an offshore oil company’s helicopter hangar.
Kharg Island, a scrubby stretch of land in the northern Gulf around 30 kilometres (19 miles) off the Iranian mainland, handles roughly 90 per cent of Iran's crude exports.
