Trump Warns Iran of Harsh Strike, Claims US Could Control Oil Infrastructure

US President Donald Trump has warned of a harsh strike against Iran as the conflict continues to intensify. Trump issued the warning after the war escalated further and the series of attacks did not stop. He said Iran could face a strong response if the current situation continues.

Trump not only warned Iran of a harsh strike but also claimed that the United States could take control of Iran’s oil and gas infrastructure. Writing on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump said that at some point in the not-too-distant future, the US would take control of Kharg Island and other oil infrastructure areas. He also claimed that the US would establish full control over Iran’s oil and gas market, similar to what he said was done in Venezuela.
