US President Donald Trump announced that American forces carried out a powerful bombing raid on Iran’s strategic Kharg Island, claiming that all military targets on the island were “totally obliterated.” The island is Iran’s main oil export hub and a vital part of its economy, handling most of the country’s crude shipments. Trump said the US deliberately avoided hitting the oil infrastructure but warned it could be targeted if Iran interferes with shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The strike marks a major escalation in the ongoing conflict involving the US, Israel and Iran in the Middle East. (PC: India Today)
