US Strikes Military Targets on Iran's Kharg Island, Warns of Potential Oil Facility Attacks

US President Donald Trump announced that US forces conducted a major bombing raid on Iran's Kharg Island, targeting and destroying all military installations while deliberately sparing the island's oil infrastructure. Kharg Island is a strategic hub handling about 90% of Iran's crude exports and lies near the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping route. Trump warned that oil facilities could be targeted if Iran disrupts maritime traffic through the strait. Iran responded by threatening retaliation against US-linked oil infrastructure in the region, escalating tensions amid ongoing conflict.
