US EditionTrump says U.S. ‘obliterated’ military targets on Iran’s Kharg Island but didn’t ‘wipe out’ oil infrastructure
President Trump said US forces destroyed all military targets on Iran's key oil export hub, Kharg Island, sparing oil infrastructure but warning of future strikes if shipping is threatened.
- On March 14, 2026, President Donald Trump said U.S. forces totally obliterated Kharg Island's military targets after United States Central Command executed a major bombing raid.
- Washington has escalated with over 5,000 targets struck, ordering 2,500 Marines and additional naval ships to West Asia amid nearly two weeks of war.
- Military officials said US Air Force bombers struck missile storage sites and facilities housing mines, adding economic infrastructure was not targeted while the Navy will soon escort commercial tankers through the Strait of Hormuz.
- Regionally, strikes coincide with casualties, including one in Baghdad and at least 12 medical staff in southern Lebanon, affecting regional stability amid oil market uncertainty.
- The New York Times reported that a preliminary military investigation found a U.S. missile likely destroyed an Iranian elementary school, while Pete Hegseth, US Defence Secretary, said the incident is under investigation.
