Trump says U.S. will hit Iran 'very hard' tonight, threatens to seize Kharg Island
Trump said the United States could seize Kharg Island and keep striking Iran as the conflict threatens energy supplies and stalled talks.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump claimed the United States would take "total control" of Iranian oil production in the "not too distant future," specifically threatening to seize Kharg Island infrastructure.
- Stalled peace negotiations and a collapsed ceasefire have fueled escalating fire between US and Iranian forces, with US Central Command conducting widespread strikes on Iranian military surveillance and communication sites.
- A US strike on a commercial vessel off Oman killed three Indian sailors on Thursday, while Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps retaliated by striking 18 US military targets in Kuwait and Bahrain.
- Iran's Foreign Ministry condemned the US attacks, stating they rendered the ceasefire "practically meaningless," while Iran claimed the Strait of Hormuz is closed—a statement the United States disputed.
- The conflict, which began in February, shows little sign of ending as intensified exchanges push the Middle East toward a broader regional war amid persistent diplomatic strain.
