Trump Threatens

The US military reports striking 15,000 targets in Iran since the war began, with President Trump stating forces 'totally obliterated' military sites on Kharg Island vital to Iran's oil network and threatening further action on oil infrastructure. This escalates as Iran reports 43,000 residential and commercial units damaged from US and Israeli strikes. Government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani detailed the widespread destruction on Saturday. Global oil markets remain volatile with Hormuz disruptions.

President Donald Trump announced US forces 'obliterated' military targets on Iran's Kharg Island, primary terminal for its oil exports, prompting threats of escalated retaliation from Iran's Parliament speaker. Iranian media reported 15 explosions on the island targeting air defenses, naval bases, and helicopter hangars, with no oil facilities damaged. The strikes coincide with Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz, halting shipping and surging global oil prices, as the US considers Navy escorts for tankers. Trump warned of further action against Iran's oil infrastructure if attacks continue.
