President Donald Trump claims US forces attacked Iran’s Kharg Island last night, the main hub of Tehran’s oil infrastructure.

“We attacked Kharg Island last night … I said don’t touch the oil,” Trump tells reporters. “Maybe we’ll take over Kharg Island … there’s not a thing they can do about it. But I said, ‘don’t hit the pipes’, just hit everything else and they hit it. They may hit it again tonight.”
