Trump claims U.S. can seize Iran's Kharg Island "any time we want"

President Trump made aggressive statements about Iran's Kharg Island, which handles over 90% of Iran's oil exports. Trump claimed the U.S. could take over the island at will, calling it "completely unprotected." He stated that U.S. forces "destroyed everything except the pipelines," leaving only the oil transfer infrastructure intact because rebuilding pipelines would take years. The remarks represent a significant escalation in U.S. rhetoric toward Iran's critical energy infrastructure.
