U.S. Strikes Kharg Island as Trump Raises Iran Threats

New York Times: “Coordinated U.S. and Israeli strikes on military targets in Iran continued methodically on Tuesday, even as President Trump raised his rhetoric threatening the country to apocalyptic levels.”

“The United States launched a series of more than 90 strikes on Kharg Island, Iran’s oil export hub, early Tuesday. A U.S. military official characterized the Kharg strikes as ‘restrikes’ — hitting targets that have been struck before to ensure more damage. He said that the United States was not yet striking Iranian infrastructure on the island, which lies in the Persian Gulf off the country’s southern coast.”
