US President Donald Trump has said that Iran had ambitions to dominate the entire West Asian region and destroy Israel, but claimed that those plans are now dead. In a Truth Social Post, he said just like Iran itself, those plans are now dead. Earlier, Trump said the United States Central Command carried out a massive “bombing raid” on military targets on Kharg Island in Iran, claiming the operation “totally obliterated” every military site on the island.
He said the strike was carried out on his orders and asserted that it was one of the most powerful bombing raids in the region’s history. He added that the United States deliberately avoided striking oil infrastructure on the island. Kharg Island is considered Iran’s economic lifeline, serving as the terminal for nearly 90 percent of the country’s crude oil exports. Because the Iranian government relies heavily on oil revenue, much of it sold to Asian markets, particularly China any disruption to the island threatens the country’s financial stability and its ability to sustain military operations.
