Trump 'Kindly' Obliterates Iran's Military, Leaves Their Oil Infrastructure Wondering
KEY POINTS
- â˘Donald Trump announced that US forces destroyed military targets on Iran's Kharg Island on March 13, 2026.
- â˘Trump tweeted that he spared the island's oil infrastructure out of 'decency' but warned this could change.
- â˘He linked any future damage to oil infrastructure with interference in the Strait of Hormuz's shipping.
On Friday, March 13, 2026, Donald Trump announced that US forces had 'obliterated' military targets on Iran's Kharg Island, a place that apparently moonlights as a strategic hotspot and giant middle finger to diplomacy. In a move that screams 'Iâm the benevolent dictator now,' Trump claimed he refrained from wiping out the islandâs crucial oil infrastructure â citing 'reasons of decency,' which reads like a rare tweet from an alternate universe. However, should Iran or anyone else cause 'interference with the Free and Safe Passage of Ships through the Strait of Hormuz,' Trump warned he might reconsider, turning the worldâs most tense oil chokepoint into a geopolitical temper tantrum collider.
