"The US will seize the Iranian island of Kharg and 'take full control of their oil and gas markets'," said Trump
US President Donald Trump has stated that the US military will launch a "very strong" attack on Iran on Wednesday night, according to CNBC.
In a post on the social media platform Truth Social, he also announced US plans to establish full control over Iran’s oil and gas markets and infrastructure.
According to Trump, such an operation would involve, in particular, taking control of the island of Kharg. He noted that this could happen “in the near future”.
The US President compared the upcoming actions to American operations in Venezuela.
"It works brilliantly for both Venezuela and the United States of America," Trump wrote.
