President Trump announced that the U.S. had “totally obliterated every military target in Iran’s crown jewel, Kharg Island… for reasons of decency, I have chosen not to wipe out the oil infrastructure on the island. However, should Iran, or anyone else, do anything to interfere with the free and safe passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz, I will immediately reconsider this decision”. President Trump also asserted that “many countries, especially those who are affected by Iran’s attempted closure of the Hormuz Strait, will be sending war ships, in conjunction with the U.S., to keep the strait open and safe”. “In the meantime, the U.S. will be bombing the hell out of the shoreline, and continually shooting Iranian boats and ships out of the water”, Trump added. “One way or another, we will soon get the Hormuz Strait open, safe and free”.
