US Strikes Iran's Kharg Island: Protecting Oil Infrastructure

0:00This is Cory with Global News Today, powered by the Daily News Now. United States forces carried out a major precision strike on Iran's Carg Island late Friday night. The operation targeted more than 90 military sites, according to the U.S. Central Command announcement on Saturday, March 14. The attack took out naval mine storage areas, missile bunkers, and several other military facilities. Importantly, the strikes avoided damaging the island's key oil infrastructure. This came right after President Donald Trump warned Iran on Friday. He threatened to hit the oil facilities on Carg Island if Tehran did not stop its attacks on ships. Those attacks have targeted vessels passing through the strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route. The U.S. action aims to deter further disruptions there. Central Command shared these details in a post on X, confirming the mission's success while stressing the protection of energy assets. This episode is brought to you by our sponsor.
