"Moments ago, at my direction, the United States Central Command executed one of the most powerful bombing raids in the history of the Middle East, and totally obliterated every MILITARY target in Iran's crown jewel, Kharg Island. For reasons of decency, I have chosen NOT to wipe out the oil infrastructure on the island."
"Iran's joint military command reiterated its threat that it will attack the US-linked oil and energy facilities in the region if oil infrastructure of the Islamic Republic is hit. They will target all oil, economic, and energy infrastructures belonging to oil companies across the region that have American shares or cooperate with America."
"Iran had plans of taking over the entire Middle East, and completely obliterating Israel. JUST LIKE IRAN ITSELF, THOSE PLANS ARE NOW DEAD!"
The United States executed a significant military operation against Iran's Kharg Island, the primary terminal for Iranian oil exports. The strikes targeted military installations including air defense facilities, a naval base, airport control tower, and a helicopter hangar, with reports indicating at least 15 explosions. The operation deliberately avoided oil infrastructure. Iran's military command responded with threats to attack U.S.-linked oil and energy facilities throughout the region if Iranian oil infrastructure is targeted. The escalation follows warnings from Iran's Parliament speaker about abandoning restraint if the island faced attack. Additional U.S. military reinforcements, including 2,500 Marines and an amphibious assault ship, were deployed to the Middle East.
