United ​States forces executed a ‌large-scale precision strike on Kharg Island in Iran on ​Friday night, the ​U.S. Central Command said on ⁠Saturday.

"U.S. forces successfully ​struck more than 90 ​Iranian military targets on Kharg Island, while preserving the oil ​infrastructure," CENTCOM said.

The strike ​destroyed naval mine storage facilities, ‌missile ⁠storage bunkers, and multiple other military sites, the U.S. military said in ​a post ​on ⁠X.

President Donald Trump threatened on Friday to strike the ​oil infrastructure of ​Iran's ⁠Kharg Island hub, unless Tehran stopped attacking vessels ⁠in ​the Strait of ​Hormuz.
