The U.S. Defense Department denied striking Iran's main petroleum export facility at Kharg Island. The denial followed President Donald Trump posting a video on his Truth Social account. The Independent reported that the department was forced to respond on Monday after the post. Coverage described the video as a very realistic AI-generated clip. The account presented the content as showing an attack on the facility. No independent confirmation of the video's origin or additional reactions appears in the supplied posts. The report centers on the Pentagon's statement addressing the circulated material.
