US President Donald Trump said American forces carried out a powerful bombing raid on Iran’s strategic Kharg Island, claiming that every military target on the island was destroyed while warning that its vital oil infrastructure could be targeted next. In a message posted on Truth Social, Trump said the strike was one of the most powerful military operations carried out in the region. Kharg Island is Iran’s main oil export hub and a key strategic site in the Gulf. The President said the United States deliberately avoided striking the island’s oil infrastructure but warned that could change if Iran disrupts shipping in the region. The small island serves as the export terminal for 90 per cent of Iran's oil shipments and lies about 483 km northwest of the strait.

Trump also issued a stark warning to Iran’s military forces, urging them to abandon confrontation. “Iran’s military, and all others involved with this terrorist regime, would be wise to lay down their arms and save what’s left of their country, which isn’t much.” The strike comes as tensions continue to escalate across the Middle East amid the widening conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran.
