The US military has executed a bombing operation on Kharg Island, Iran, targeting military installations. This site is significant as it is responsible for nearly all of Iran's crude oil exports.
President Trump stated that the military targets have been 'totally obliterated,' indicating a decisive action against Iran's military capabilities.
However, the decision to spare the oil infrastructure suggests a strategic consideration to avoid exacerbating tensions in global oil markets.
