Trump threatens to obliterate Iran’s island oil hub if no deal is reached ‘shortly’
US President Donald Trump has threatened to destroy Iran's oil export hub of Kharg Island if a deal is not reached shortly. The threat comes as the US and Iran are engaged in a month-long war, with concerns of escalation and rising oil prices.
US President Donald Trump has threatened to destroy Iran's oil export hub of Kharg Island. The threat was made on March 30, with Trump stating that the US would blow up and obliterate all of Iran's electric generating plants, oil wells, and Kharg Island if a deal is not reached. Iran's Foreign Ministry has received messages indicating Washington's willingness to negotiate, but has deemed the US' demands as excessive and unrealistic. The conflict has already inflicted havoc on the global economy, with fuel shortages and rising oil prices. The US has deployed thousands of troops to the Middle East, including special operations forces, in a move to give Trump more options to expand the war.
