The United States is going to be striking Iran “very hard tonight,” President Donald Trump said on Thursday. “At some point in the not too distant future, we will be taking Kharg Island, and other oil infrastructure points, and assume total control of their Oil and Gas Markets, much like we have with Venezuela, which is working out brilliantly for both Venezuela and the United States of America,” he also said.
Pentagon staff were ordered to shelter in place Thursday after systems in the Department of War’s Arlington, Virginia, headquarters detected an air quality issue. Assistant War Secretary Sean Parnell confirmed the lockdown, saying the measure was taken to ensure safety.
