Trump says US bombed Iran’s Kharg Island, threatens oil infrastructure

⁠US ⁠President ⁠Donald Trump said on Friday that the United ‌States had carried out strikes against “every military target” on Iran’s Kharg Island export hub.“For reasons ⁠of decency, I have ‌chosen NOT to wipe out the Oil ‌Infrastructure on the ⁠Island,” ⁠Trump said in a social media post.“However, should Iran, or anyone ‌else, ‌do anything to interfere ‌with the Free ⁠and Safe Passage of ⁠Ships through the Strait of Hormuz, I ‌will immediately ‌reconsider this decision.”The small coral island about 33km (21 miles) off Iran’s coast is the primary terminal through which nearly all of Iran’s oil exports pass.The US and Israel have treaded carefully around the island, but Trump administration officials have been reported as saying that capturing Kharg was on the table as the war in the Middle East persists.The Kharg oil terminal is seen on Kharg Island in March 2017.
