U.S. Strikes Iranian Military Targets, Avoids Oil Facilities

On Friday night, the U.S. military executed large-scale precision strikes on Iranian military targets located on Kharg Island, Iran. The U.S.

Central Command disclosed that these strikes deliberately avoided hitting oil infrastructure in the region. This military action comes amid escalating tensions in the ongoing U.S.-Israeli conflict against Iran, which has now entered its third week.

President Donald Trump had previously threatened to target Iran's oil infrastructure unless Tehran ceased its attacks on vessels. Despite the strikes, Iran responded defiantly, downplaying the extent of the damage and warning that it could retaliate against U.S. power.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) urged residents of the UAE to evacuate the port dock to avoid civilian casualties. The ongoing conflict continues to disrupt global oil supplies, particularly through the critical Strait of Hormuz.

In response, Trump announced plans to send warships to keep the strait open, although details on the countries involved were not provided.
