Donald Trump has said the US military has bombed a small island off the coast of Iran – home to a major oil terminal that is considered the country’s economic lifeline.
The US president said Kharg Island’s military facilities were “totally obliterated” but that it had held off targeting its oil infrastructure.
Trump, however, warned that he would reconsider the decision not to target oil facilities on the island should Iran or others “do anything to interfere” with the safe passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz – one of the world’s most important shipping channels, located south of Iran’s coast.
🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Kharg Island sits just 15 miles off Iran’s coast, comfortably inside the range of Iranian missiles, drones, and coastal artillery.
So if the U.S. ever tried to land Marines there they’d be storming a beach while the mainland shoots at them the entire time.
