President Donald Trump sent shockwaves through the Middle East on Sunday night with a dramatic message suggesting that Iran’s strategically vital Kharg Island had come under a devastating attack.
“Kharg Island being blown to smithereens!!! President DJT,” Trump announced on Truth Social.
The extraordinary statement immediately drew attention because of Kharg Island’s enormous importance to Iran’s oil industry. The island serves as one of the regime’s primary energy export centers and, before the current conflict, reportedly handled roughly 90 percent of Iran’s oil exports.
