Why did the US military bomb the strategic Iranian island of Kharg?
President Donald Trump said US forces “obliterated” military targets on Iran’s Kharg Island. The piece of land is the beating heart of Iran’s oil export system, strategically located in the Persian Gulf. For decades, it has been essential in connecting Iran’s vast oil reserves with the global market. Donald Trump threatened to attack its oil infrastructure if Teheran continues attacking ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
