Trump says US may keep bombing Iranian oil facility 'just for fun'

 


  • Donald Trump claimed on NBC News that Kharg Island, a critical Iranian oil infrastructure site, had been "totally demolished" by US bombing, but added that “we may hit it a few more times just for fun”.
  • Trump called on allied nations, including the UK, France, and Japan, to deploy ships to the Strait of Hormuz to help keep the vital shipping channel open.
  • He boasted that the US military had spent $11.3 billion on munitions in the first week of the conflict and largely destroyed Iran's missiles, drones, and manufacturing capabilities.
  • The conflict, now in its third week, has resulted in the deaths of 13 US service members and over 1,000 Iranians, including at least 175 children and staff from a school.
  • Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated that the war would conclude when Trump decided it was finished, emphasising that the president controls the "throttle" of the operation.
