Trump says Iran's main oil export terminal has been destroyed

Fact-check index: 30/100 — The article's core claim (Trump said Kharg Island is being 'blown to smithereens' with no details) matches the Reuters headline, but nearly all supporting specifics—Kharg's location and 90% export share, lack of independent confirmation, Iranian state media silence, and the 'what to watch' items—are not established by the thin source material, which contains only a repeated headline with no article body.

• Trump said Iran's Kharg Island oil export terminal is being destroyed, without offering evidence or detail — Directly matches the Reuters headline: "Trump says Iran's Kharg is being 'blown to smithereens', but gives no details."
• Quote: 'Blown to smithereens.' attributed to Trump — Matches the exact phrase in the Reuters headline.
• Kharg Island is off Iran's southwestern coast in the Persian Gulf and is the country's principal crude oil export terminal, handling roughly 90% of Iran's oil shipments abroad — No source text provides this geographic or statistical detail; only a bare headline was supplied, with no article body to confirm these figures.
• Reuters said Trump did not specify when, how, or by whom any strike was carried out, and there was no independent confirmation — The headline's phrase 'gives no details' loosely supports the general idea, but the specific breakdown (when/how/by whom) and 'no independent confirmation' language are not present in the supplied source text.
• Iranian state media had not corroborated the claim — Not mentioned anywhere in the two identical headline-only source snippets provided.
• What to watch: oil price movement, Tehran confirmation/denial, independent imagery of Kharg Island — This is speculative/editorial framing not derived from or attributed to the source material.
