Trump warns of more strikes on Iran’s Kharg Island, urges allies to send warships to secure Strait of Hormuz
President Donald Trump has warned of further strikes on Iran’s key oil hub, Kharg Island, while urging allies to deploy warships to help secure the Strait of Hormuz. The comments come after US strikes reportedly caused significant damage to the island, marking a sharp escalation as earlier operations focused mainly on military targets.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards say they have launched missiles toward Israel and US bases across the region, raising fears of a broader regional confrontation. Kharg Island is a critical energy export hub for Iran, and any disruption there could send shockwaves through global oil markets.
Trump has also ramped up demands surrounding Iran’s leadership and nuclear capabilities, while suggesting a diplomatic deal could still be possible. The mixed messaging highlights rising tensions as military pressure and negotiation signals unfold simultaneously.
