US President Donald Trump has threatened to strike Iran’s key oil and energy infrastructure, including Kharg Island, if negotiations to end the conflict fail.
In a statement, Trump said the United States is engaged in “serious discussions” with what he described as a more reasonable leadership in Tehran, but warned of consequences if a deal is not reached soon.
He said potential targets include oil wells, power plants, and desalination facilities, particularly if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened to global shipping.
Kharg Island is a critical hub for Iran’s oil exports, making it a strategic target that could significantly impact global energy supply.
The latest warning underscores rising tensions in the region, with concerns growing over further escalation and its effect on international markets and security.
