Trump Threatens ‘Very Hard’ Strike and Seizure of Iran’s Kharg Island Oil Depot
US former President Donald Trump vowed fresh attacks on Iran and threatened to take control of Kharg Island, the country’s main oil hub. He posted on his social platform that the United States would hit Iran “very hard tonight,” claiming Iran’s military defenses were largely neutralized. Trump said the US would soon assume control of Iran’s oil and gas markets, comparing it to the Venezuela operation. In a television interview, he admitted Americans might lack the “stomach” for an occupation of Kharg Island. No details were provided on how such a takeover would be executed, though it would likely involve ground forces. The statements follow an announcement by the Persian Gulf Strait Authority that the Strait of Hormuz may be closed to transit traffic amid rising tensions involving US forces.
