March 14, 2026 • Al Jazeera
US President Donald Trump has shared footage of air strikes in Iran, following his earlier statement that the United States had carried out “powerful bombing raids” on Kharg Island.
According to reports, Trump initially stated that the US had targeted military installations at Kharg Island, an Iranian oil hub. He also warned that if Iran blocks the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for global oil supplies, the US would take action against its oil facilities.
Later, Trump shared video footage of the air strikes on social media, confirming that the US had indeed carried out the attacks. The exact nature and extent of the targets hit by the US airstrikes are not yet clear.
It is worth noting that Kharg Island is a strategic location for Iran’s oil exports, and any disruption to its operations could have significant implications for global energy markets. The Strait of Hormuz, which separates Iran from Oman, is also a critical waterway for international shipping.
The US has been engaged in a series of military actions against Iranian targets in recent weeks, following a series of attacks on US personnel and facilities in the region.
