Trump says US struck military targets on Iran’s Kharg Island, key oil export hub

Washington/Dubai/Beirut/Jerusalem, 14/3 – The United States on Friday attacked military targets on Iran’s main ⁠oil hub of Kharg Island, President Donald Trump said, threatening to strike oil infrastructure on the island if Iran continues to block ⁠shipping through the Strait of Harmouz.

In a social media post, Trump said the U.S. ‌military “totally obliterated every MILITARY target” on the ​island, but he had decided to leave oil infrastructure intact. The island serves as the export terminal for 90% of Iran’s oil shipments.
