US President Donald Trump has warned that the United States could launch additional strikes on Kharg Island, a critical Iranian oil export terminal, as tensions in the ongoing US-Iran conflict intensify. Trump claimed recent US attacks had already destroyed most military targets on the island and suggested further strikes could occur, even remarking they might hit it “just for fun.” The island handles a major share of Iran’s crude exports and is strategically important in the Persian Gulf. Meanwhile, Washington has urged allies to help secure the Strait of Hormuz, while Iran has vowed retaliation and continued attacks across the region. (PC: X)
