US President Donald Trump announced that military assets on Kharg Island, Iran’s primary hub for 90% of its crude oil exports, stand totally obliterated following a major US Central Command operation.
Powerful US Bombing Raid Targets Iranian Island
Trump shared details on Truth Social, describing the strikes as “one of the most powerful bombing raids in the history of the Middle East.” He stated that the operation “totally obliterated every military target” on the island, which he called “Iran’s crown jewel.”
The president emphasized the advanced capabilities of US weaponry, noting, “Our weapons are the most powerful and sophisticated that the world has ever known.” He spared the island’s oil infrastructure “for reasons of decency” but issued a stern warning.
Warning Over Strait of Hormuz
Trump cautioned that any interference by Iran or others with the “free and safe passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz” would prompt an immediate reassessment. “I will immediately reconsider this decision,” he affirmed.
Iran’s Chilling Response
In response, Iranian officials threatened to “reduce to ashes” energy resources belonging to US allies if their own assets face further attacks. Tensions escalate as both sides signal readiness to protect vital maritime routes and energy supplies.
