Claims Wiping Out Iran’s Most Critical Oil Island
- Safiu Kehinde
The United States President, Donald Trump, has bragged about the US military’s might, claiming that the force has the most lethal weapons in the entire world.
Trump made the boast while announcing the US bombing of Iran’s most critical oil island, the Kharg Island, in a statement issued on his Truth Social handle and shared on X on Saturday by the White House.
This is coming under the heels of the ongoing war between the US, Israel, and Iran.
The war which now enters into the third since its escalation had seen several infrastructures and live lost across the Middle East.
With the recent attacks on oil vessels along the Strait of Hormuz, the US had in counterreaction attacked the Kharg Island which is considered Iran’s most critical island.
Meanwhile, Trump claimed to have deliberately avoided wiping out the entire oil infrastructure on the island.
He however warned of a possible change of mind if Iran continues to block the passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
“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.
“Our Weapons are the most powerful and sophisticated that the World has ever known but, for reasons of decency, I have chosen NOT to wipe out the Oil Infrastructure on the Island.
“However, should Iran, or anyone else, do anything to interfere with the Free and Safe Passage of Ships through the Strait of Hormuz, I will immediately reconsider this decision.” He said.
Trump claimed to have rebuilt the US military into the most lethal and powerful force during his first tenure.
He held that Iran has no ability to defend any of the US’ attack while reiterating his vow to ensure the Middle East country does not possess a nuclear weapon and have the ability to threaten any country.
The US President however charged the Iranian force to lay down their arms and save the country from further devastating attacks.
“During my First Term, and currently, I rebuilt our Military into the Most Lethal, Powerful, and Effective Force, by far, anywhere in the World.
“Iran has NO ability to defend anything that we want to attack — There is nothing they can do about it! Iran will NEVER have a nuclear weapon, nor will it have the ability to threaten the United States of America, the Middle East or, for that matter, the World!
“Iran’s Military, and all others involved with this Terrorist Regime, would be wise to lay down their arms, and save what’s left of their country, which isn’t much! Thank you for your attention to this matter.” He added.
