US strikes Iran’s Kharg Island as Hormuz tensions intensify

President Trump announced a major US bombing raid on Kharg Island, a key site for Iran’s oil exports, saying military targets on the island were obliterated while oil facilities were spared for now. He warned Iran that oil infrastructure could be targeted if attacks on ships through the Strait of Hormuz continue. The White House has floated a possible ground operation as part of broader options reviewed by the Pentagon amid rising tensions with Iran.
