Trump Says U.S. Struck Iran's Kharg Island Two to Three Times
Former President Trump stated that the U.S. has struck Iran's Kharg Island two to three times and ordered strikes on everything except within 25 yards to protect the world economy, also signaling openness to taking the island if Iran is sufficiently degraded.
According to a post on Telegram, former President Trump claimed that the U.S. military has struck Kharg Island in Iran two to three times. He stated that strikes were ordered on all targets except within a 25-yard radius to protect the global economy.
Trump also expressed openness to taking control of Kharg Island if Iran's capabilities are degraded enough. Kharg Island is a critical oil export terminal for Iran, making such actions potentially impactful on global oil markets.
This statement comes amid ongoing geopolitical tensions, though no official confirmation from U.S. or Iranian sources has been reported at this time.
