Kanal13Video released Friday by the U.S. Central Command showed U.S. forces destroying targets on the ground, which it claims were in Kharg Island, Iran. According to Associated Press the U.S. Central Command, on the social media platform X, said, “Last night, U.S. forces executed a large-scale precision strike on Kharg Island, Iran.
The strike destroyed naval mine storage facilities, missile storage bunkers, and multiple other military sites. U.S. forces successfully struck more than 90 Iranian military targets on Kharg Island, while preserving the oil infrastructure.” President Donald Trump said U.S. forces “obliterated” military targets on Iran’s Kharg Island, home to the main terminal that handles the country’s oil exports. The speaker of the Iranian parliament had warned that such strikes would provoke a new level of retaliation. Iran has continued to launch widespread missile and drone attacks on Israel and neighboring Gulf states. A missile struck a helipad inside the U.S. Embassy compound in Baghdad and debris from an intercepted Iranian drone hit an oil facility in the United Arab Emirates as the war entered its third week Saturday. Iran has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world’s traded oil passes, even as U.S. and Israeli warplanes pummel military and other targets across the country.
