US bombed Iran's Kharg Island, threatens its oil infrastructure

US President Donald Trump said on Friday the US military had heavily bombed targets on Iran's Kharg Island, threatening the island's oil infrastructure. The Kharg Island, located off the Iranian mainland, handles roughly 90 percent of Iran's crude exports.

Trump said on truth social that he had no reason to wipe out the Oil Infrastructure on the Island but he will reconsider the plan if Iran do anything to interfere with the Passage of Ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Trump also told that the US Navy would start escorting tankers through the straits immediately to restore oil exports as he struggles to tackle soaring US gas prices.
