President Donald Trump said on Friday that he directed the U.S. Central Command to carry out a bombing raid, hitting military targets on Iran’s Kharg Island.
“Moments ago, at my direction, the United States Central Command executed one of the most powerful bombing raids in the History of the Middle East, and totally obliterated every MILITARY target in Iran’s crown jewel, Kharg Island,” the president wrote in a Truth Social post.
He added that he had “chosen NOT to wipe out the Oil Infrastructure on the Island.”
Kharg Island is a small strip of land in the northern Persian Gulf. It’s widely considered one of Iran’s most sensitive economic targets.
The island has been left untouched during nearly two weeks of the U.S. and Israeli-led war on Iran.
