Trump Announces CENTCOM Destroyed All Military Targets on Iran's Kharg Island, Warns on Strait of Hormuz

Just moments ago, on my direct orders, United States Central Command (CENTCOM) carried out one of the heaviest airstrikes in the history of the Middle East, completely destroying all military targets on Kharg Island — considered Iran's crown jewel. Our weapons are the most powerful and advanced armaments the world has ever seen; however, I decided, for humanitarian considerations, not to destroy the island's oil infrastructure at this stage. But I warn: if Iran or any other party takes the slightest action to disrupt free and safe shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, I will immediately reconsider this decision. During my first presidential term and now, I have rebuilt the US military and made it the most lethal, powerful, and effective military force in the entire world. Iran has no ability to defend any targets we choose to strike — they are completely powerless against our strength! Iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon and will never be able to threaten the United States of America, the Middle East, and the entire world. For Iran's military and all those who cooperate with this terrorist regime, it would be wiser to lay down their weapons and save what remains of their country — which is not much! Thank you for your attention. President Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
