The United States has issued a stark warning to Iran regarding its primary oil export hub on Kharg Island, threatening to strike the facility if interference with shipping in the Strait of Hormuz continues. President Donald Trump announced that while recent U.S. strikes targeted military assets on the island, the energy infrastructure—which handles 90% of Iranian oil exports—could be hit next. Trump stated that any action to obstruct the free passage of ships would lead him to reconsider the current decision to spare the oil network.
