Trump says U.S. will destroy Kharg Island unless Hormuz reopened immediately

U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday that the U.S. will “completely” obliterate Iran’s electric generating plants, oil wells and Kharg Island if the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz is not “immediately” reopened and a peace deal is not reached “shortly.”
“The United States of America is in serious discussions with A NEW, AND MORE REASONABLE, REGIME to end our Military Operations in Iran,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
“Great progress has been made but, if for any reason a deal is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately “Open for Business,” we will conclude our lovely “stay” in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!), which we have purposefully not yet “touched.”"
His comments come as the Iran war enters its fifth week and as the Trump administration weighs sending in ground forces to seize Kharg Island, a major fuel hub which serves as the centerpiece for Iran’s oil industry.
It is estimated that around 90% of the country’s crude exports pass through it before tankers then travel through the Strait of Hormuz. The island is also said to have a loading capacity of roughly 7 million barrels per day.
Iran has not yet commented on Trump’s latest remarks.

Well, that's pretty clear and straightforward.

That is a helluva line in the sand.
I think pipeline welding would be a good career choice for the near future. Assuming we have one.

I know. Thats a devasting headline for you from your favorite news source

No we won’t, this is all bluster to distract from the incoming takeover of the island by the Marines as well as securing both sides of the strait.

Nothing like destroying all valuable infrastructure to win over the hearts and minds of the "regular" people in Iran that will be the new regime. In no way would that create a new generation of Iranians that would one day want to exact revenge.

The oil markets do not believe the Strait will be open soon. The market is no longer reacting to Trump's boasts.

Look, I'm all for 'taking Kharg' but the second half of this statement makes me glad some people aren't involved in anything other than asking if they want to 'supersize their order'.
What stationary target just off the coast of Iran, which is so easy for us to destroy, becomes just as easy for the opposition to target once we have taken it?
It won't be just 21 targeted attempts; and you'll have to stop EVERY one of them.

Sorry it upset you so much. I'll try and be more sensitive to your feelings in the future.
