The operation was ordered by US President Donald J. Trump, who said in a statement that all military targets on the island were \u201ctotally obliterated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kharg Island, located in the Persian Gulf, is a critical hub for Iran\u2019s oil export infrastructure. In his statement, Trump emphasized that, for reasons of decency, the United States deliberately spared the island\u2019s oil facilities but warned that any interference with the free and safe passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz would prompt reconsideration of this restraint.<\/p>\n<p>Trump described the strike as a demonstration of the United States\u2019 military superiority, claiming that the US possesses \u201cthe most powerful and sophisticated weapons that the world has ever known.\u201d He asserted that Iran has \u201cno ability to defend anything\u201d against US attacks and reiterated his long-standing position that Iran will never acquire a nuclear weapon or the capacity to threaten the United States, the Middle East, or the world.<\/p>\n<p>US\u00a0 president warned Iran and any allies supporting its \u201cterrorist regime\u201d to \u201clay down their arms and save what\u2019s left of their country,\u201d suggesting that the operation is intended as both a show of strength and a deterrent.<\/p>\n<p>Trump highlighted that the US military had been rebuilt into the \u201cmost lethal, powerful, and effective force\u201d globally during his administration, underscoring that the strike reflects America\u2019s readiness and capability to respond decisively to threats.<\/p>\n<p>The airstrikes on Kharg Island mark a significant escalation in US-Iran tensions, following years of sanctions, covert operations, and intermittent military engagements in the region. Analysts suggest that the operation could further destabilize the Persian Gulf and affect global oil markets due to heightened security risks in one of the world\u2019s most critical maritime chokepoints.<\/p>\n<p>The White House confirmed that the Central Command conducted the precision strikes targeting military infrastructure, and no civilian casualties have been reported so far. Officials emphasized that the strikes were strictly aimed at degrading Iran\u2019s military capabilities while avoiding unnecessary damage to civilian and economic assets.<\/p>\n<p>This unprecedented action signals a clear US message to Tehran regarding the strategic significance of the Strait of Hormuz and underscores the ongoing high-stakes rivalry between the United States and Iran in the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US Conducts Major Airstrikes on Iran\u2019s Kharg Island;
