Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced that American forces carried out a major bombing raid on Kharg Island, a crucial hub for Iran’s oil exports in the Persian Gulf. He claimed the operation destroyed every military target on the island, describing it as one of the most powerful airstrikes in the region. According to Trump, the strikes focused specifically on military installations while deliberately avoiding damage to the island’s vital oil infrastructure. He also warned that the oil facilities could become targets if Iran attempts to disrupt shipping through the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
