President Donald Trump warned on Aug. 31 that the U.S. military will resume attacks on Iran after the regime launched missiles at U.S. bases in Jordan.
“We’re going to hit them hard,” Trump told Fox News. “There will be a response.”
On March 13, Trump said in a Truth Social post that U.S. forces had “totally obliterated” all military targets on Kharg Island in what he described as “one of the most powerful bombing raids in the history of the Middle East.” The strike spared Iran’s oil infrastructure on the island.The targets included naval mine storage facilities, missile storage bunkers, and multiple other military sites on the island, according to U.S. Central Command.Trump said in June that the United States would seize Kharg Island and take control of Iranian oil and gas “in the not too distant future,” likening the potential move to the U.S. operation on Jan. 3 that ousted Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and gave the U.S. control over the country’s oil industry.We had a problem loading this article.
