US bombs Iran's Kharg Island US President Donald Trump has announced that the country's military has bombed military installations on Iran's Kharg Island, close to the Strait of Hormuz, as the war escalates " and as constraints on energy flows have deepened a global economic crisis. "The United States Central Command executed one of the most powerful bombing raids in the History of the Middle East, and totally obliterated every MILITARY target in Iran's crown jewel, Kharg Island," Trump said in a Truth Social post. Trump, however, said that the US had so far avoided hitting Iran's oil infrastructure on the island.

On Friday after markets close Piggy announces we have hit Iran's most critical oil pumping station.

Reminder, Iran had INCREASED its oil exports.

This will slam the oil markets

Only Piggy could say we both destroyed Iran's oil island but didnt destroy Iran's oil island.

Google map the freaking island you can see it. It didn't have massive military targets, it is a fueling island

We are moving Marines to the area

is this a prelude to an assault on Kharg Island? That would be a devastatingly stupid idea.

Expect Iranian retaliation at Israeli and Gulf State Oil infrastructure

You can go to google earth and see the entire 5 mile by 2-mile island, which contains a small airport, small city and oil processing features. You can see, with your own eyes, that there are not a whole lot of military assets on the island.

The brazenness of the lies is breathtaking

And to be clear There are likely military assets on the island, but not enough to justify "one of the most powerful bombing raids in the History of the Middle East,"

My amateur military instinct thinks it would be a bad idea to put offensive weapons like missile launchers on the island.
