Donald Trump said the United States may launch more attacks on Kharg Island, which is Iran’s main oil export center. In an interview with NBC News, Trump claimed that earlier US strikes had “totally demolished” much of the oil facility and added that the US might hit the island again “just for fun.” Previously, Trump said US attacks were only targeting military locations on the island, but his latest statement suggests possible further escalation. Iran strongly criticized the comments. Abbas Araghchi said Iran would respond if its energy facilities were attacked. He also claimed that the US launched the strikes from locations in the United Arab Emirates, including areas near Dubai and Ras Al-Khaimah. However, the US military did not comment on this claim. Meanwhile, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it carried out missile and drone attacks on targets in Israel and three US military bases in the region. Iran described the strikes as the first round of retaliation after workers were killed in Iranian industrial areas. One recent missile attack hit an industrial zone in Isfahan, killing at least 15 people, according to Iranian media. The conflict has also raised fears about the security of the Strait of Hormuz. Around 20 percent of the world’s oil passes through this narrow waterway. Any disruption there could seriously affect global energy supplies and oil prices. Trump also urged other countries that rely on oil passing through the Strait of Hormuz to help protect the shipping route, saying the United States would coordinate with allies to keep it open. The war between the United States, Israel, and Iran has already caused heavy casualties. Reports from governments and state media say more than 2,000 people have died, most of them in Iran.
