Trump says US 'obliterated' targets in strike on key Iranian oil hub

President Donald Trump said the United States carried out a major bombing raid on Iran's Kharg Island, a critical oil export hub in the Persian Gulf. He described the operation as one of the most powerful in the region's history, claiming that every military target on the island was completely destroyed.

Kharg Island, located off Iran's southern coast, plays a central role in the country's energy exports and broader economy. Much of Iran's crude oil passes through the island, making it one of its most strategically sensitive locations.

Trump said he chose not to target the island's oil infrastructure, citing decency, but warned that this restraint could change. He cautioned that any interference with the free and safe passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz would prompt an immediate reconsideration of that decision.
