What happened

Well supportedReported by 13 independent outlets

Donald Trump stated that the United States would be hitting Iran 'VERY HARD TONIGHT' during a renewed period of hostilities. He also announced that in the future, the US might take Kharg Island and other oil infrastructure points to assume control of their oil and gas markets, similar to what was done in Venezuela. This rhetoric was made while Kharg Island, which serves as a critical oil terminal for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, is the site of 90 percent of Tehran's crude exports.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The threats target Kharg Island, which is vital to Iran's oil exports and the operations of the National Iranian Oil Company. A senior Iranian commander warned that any hostile attempt to land troops on Iran’s coasts would be extremely perilous for the invading forces.

The threats emerge during a period of renewed tensions between the US and Iran.
