Washington. Amidst the ongoing tension in the Middle East, US President Donald Trump has confirmed major attacks on Iran’s most important oil hub, Kharg Island. Through an interview and social media post on Saturday, Trump claimed that the US Army had destroyed 100 percent of Iran’s military bases on the island. Trump said that although Iran now appears to be coming to the agreement table to end the conflict, the terms are not yet favorable enough in America’s favor. Trump boldly said that we have destroyed most of Kharg Island and we can attack it many times for fun.
According to the media report, Trump informed on his Truth Social that Iran’s military capability is now almost exhausted, but it can still create obstacles in the maritime waterways through mines or small drones. He said that America and other friendly countries will deploy warships in Hormuz. Britain, France and Japan will also support America to keep this route safe. The goal is that global oil supply and maritime transportation can continue without fear.
Iran has vowed to avenge the US-Israel attacks. In this series, Iranian government media has given an ultimatum to vacate three major ports of UAE which include Jebel Ali Port, Khalifa Port, Fujairah Port. Iran alleges that America is using these ports to attack it. Residents and workers have been asked to leave the area immediately, due to which there is a possibility of further spread of war in the area.
The horrors of war are now being revealed in human figures. Iran’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Amir Saeed Iravani, has made a sensational claim that more than 1300 people have died so far in the attacks by America and Israel. Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and many senior officials have also been killed in these attacks. The ambassador alleged that residential areas and schools were being deliberately targeted. However, human rights organizations estimate that the death toll could be as high as 1,858, including both civilians and soldiers.
