West Asia Conflict: Major attack on Iran's Kharg Island: Trump claims to 'completely destroy' military bases

  West Asia Conflict: US President Donald Trump announced on Friday that US forces have completely ‘destroyed’ military bases on Iran’s Kharg Island. In a statement on social media, Trump warned that the next target could be the oil infrastructure there.

It is worth noting that this small island located in the Persian Gulf is the main hub of Iran’s oil exports, from where most of the country’s oil is exported.

The announcement came as Trump was preparing to leave for Florida. However, before boarding Air Force One, he answered questions from reporters, but did not mention this military operation there. After this operation, there is a fear of increasing tension in the region, as Kharg Island is considered the backbone of Iran’s economy.
