US President Donald Trump has stated that the Central Command’s orders have led to one of the most devastating bombings in the history of the Middle East, targeting all military objectives on the Iranian Kharg Island. According to Trump, the oil infrastructure on the island was not targeted. However, Trump warned that if Iran tries to intervene in the free and safe passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz, the US will not hesitate to attack its oil infrastructure. Trump stated that during his first term and now again, he has turned his military into the most powerful and effective force in the world. He claimed that Iran lacks the ability to defend any target that the US wants to attack. Trump emphasized that Iran will never be able to possess nuclear weapons and will never be able to threaten the US, the Middle East, or the world. He advised the Iranian military and government officials to surrender and save their country.
Furthermore, Trump announced that the US Navy will soon provide security to ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. He acknowledged that the US and Israel may have different objectives in Iran. Trump stated that Iran has proven it can control global oil prices and restrict the movement of oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz. Despite the challenges, there has been no significant disruption in the delivery of public services, according to a report by the Lebanese Health Ministry. The report mentions that 106 children and 65 women are among the fatalities. Iranian authorities reported that of the 43,000 affected, 36,500 are residential units.
A detailed report of the fatalities within 15 days of the US and Israeli attacks on Iran has emerged. The situation in the Middle East has created a crisis of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in India. Following the start of the war, it was the second time that the US embassy in Baghdad has been attacked. China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs urged Pakistan and Afghanistan to immediately move towards peace talks, resolve their differences through dialogue, and play an active role in reducing tension between the two countries. The situation in Gaza has worsened with the sandstorm, further complicating the lives of Palestinians affected by the Israeli war. The US Senate has stated that the US military conducted a large-scale operation on the Kharg Island in Iran, targeting the country’s naval forces, including explosive-laden installations. Iranian Revolutionary Guard forces have informed the UAE of the attack. Iranian authorities reported that the country’s oil infrastructure remains operational, with oil companies in the UAE continuing their normal activities.
