U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that U.S. Central Command, acting on his orders, has completely destroyed all military targets on Iran's strategic Kharg Island in what he described as the most powerful large-scale airstrike operation in Middle Eastern history.
Kharg Island, a key hub for most of Iran's crude oil exports, was reportedly equipped with anti-aircraft missile bases and military defense installations.
Trump added that the decision was made not to destroy the island's key economic asset—its oil infrastructure. However, he warned that this decision would be reconsidered if Iran or any other power were to interfere with the free and safe navigation of vessels through the Strait of Hormuz. He stressed that Iran has no ability to defend against any U.S. attack and will never be allowed to have nuclear weapons.Log in to leave comments!
