It is 34 miles (55 km) northwest of the port of Bushehr and vital to Iran\u2019s oil industry.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>The oil processing facilities at Kharg Island are a foundational component of Iran\u2019s economy. Roughly 90 percent of Iran\u2019s crude is processed at Kharg Island, and any disruption to its oil processing could cripple Iran\u2019s economy.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All military targets on the Island were destroyed in the attack, but the oil infrastructure on the Island was left intact.<\/p>\n<p>The article includes President Trump&#8217;s statement:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong><em>\u201cMoments ago, at my direction, the United States Central Command executed one of the most powerful bombing raids in the History of the Middle East and totally obliterated every MILITARY target in Iran\u2019s crown jewel, Kharg Island. Our Weapons are the most powerful and sophisticated that the World has ever known but, for reasons of decency, I have chosen NOT to wipe out the Oil Infrastructure on the Island. However, should Iran, or anyone else, do anything to interfere with the Free and Safe Passage of Ships through the Strait of Hormuz, I will immediately reconsider this decision.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong><em>\u201cDuring my First Term, and currently, I rebuilt our Military into the Most Lethal, Powerful, and Effective Force, by far, anywhere in the World. Iran has NO ability to defend anything that we want to attack \u2014 There is nothing they can do about it! Iran will NEVER have a nuclear weapon, nor will it have the ability to threaten the United States of America, the Middle East or, for that matter, the World! Iran\u2019s Military, and all others involved with this Terrorist Regime, would be wise to lay down their arms, and save what\u2019s left of their country, which isn\u2019t much!
