Trump threatens to destroy Iran oil island unless peace deal accepted
Trump threatens destruction of Iran’s Kharg Island oil hub and key infrastructure unless Tehran agrees to end the conflict, amid soaring oil prices and escalating regional attacks.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump threatened to destroy Iran's Kharg Island oil export hub, power plants, and desalination facilities unless Tehran accepts a deal to end the war 'shortly,' posting on Truth Social he would 'completely obliterate' the infrastructure.
- Refusing to back down, an Iranian parliamentary commission approved plans to impose tolls on vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz and ban ships from the United States and Israel, defying Secretary of State Marco Rubio's recent 'coalition' to oppose the tolling plan.
- Multiple explosions struck Tehran on Tuesday, causing power outages across parts of the capital, while a 27-year-old dental assistant named Fatemeh said she clings to cafe moments to 'almost believe the world hasn't ended' before returning to 'the reality of living through war.'
- Oil prices sank and stocks rose Tuesday following reports Trump might accept a deal even if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, despite Brent crude rising nearly 60% this month and average US gas prices climbing $1 per gallon.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed hope for working with Iranian government figures with 'power to deliver,' though UN special coordinator Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaer warned that tactical military gains risk 'long-term damage to the stability and prosperity both Lebanese and Israelis deserve,' with deaths exceeding 1,240.
