President Trump on Thursday morning vowed more attacks on Iran and threatened to seize Kharg Island, after the two countries exchanged fresh strikes this week.
The United States will be hitting Iran (Whose Navy, Air Force, Radar, Anti Aircraft, and all other forms of Defense, together with most of its offensive capability, are GONE!), VERY HARD TONIGHT, the president wrote in a Truth Social post.
At some point in the not too distant future, we will be taking Kharg Island, and other oil infrastructure points, and assume total control of their Oil and Gas Markets, much like we have with Venezuela, which is working out brilliantly for both Venezuela and the United States of America, he added.

During an interview with Fox Newss Fox and Friends on Thursday morning, the president addressed his threat to seize the island.
Look, my preference has always been: Take Kharg Island, he said, later adding, I dont know that America has the stomach for that.
