Politics Trump says U.S. will seize Kharg Island and other ‘oil infrastructure points’
CNBC ^ | June 11, 2026 | Kevin Breuninger

The U.S. military will attack Iran “VERY HARD TONIGHT,” and will soon take over the country’s “oil infrastructure points,” President Donald Trump said Thursday.

An operation to “assume total control” of Iran’s oil and gas markets and infrastructure, including taking Kharg Island, will occur “at some point in the not too distant future,” Trump said in a Truth Social post.

I don’t see that taking Kharg Island would be all that hard, but it seems to me that we’ve isolated it already and it’s currently useless to the Iranians.

I do not like Trump announcing what he is going to do. Hope this is a feint.

He is threatening Iran, trying to get a signed deal.

One can't threaten Iran without telling them what bad thing one is going to do to them.

lol...

Although it could also be quite deliberate to say it publicly now. Without details it’s hard to know what reaction he’s expecting.

Essential workers only. IRCG-take a bunch of prisoners there along with a bunch of Imans. Put up a fence similar to our new border wall. Turn every building there into a mosque with their own Iman. Would Iran blow them up?

Trump, SHUT UP!

Lighten up, Francis. It's like Babe Ruth calling his home run.

Great idea but I am sorry, I do not understand the need to advertise. Can someone help please?

He's calling his shot.

Trump has no intention of doing any of these things, which would push crude over $200. It's just a change of tactics.

Maybe the bridges thing, but certainly not Kharg, which is virtually impossible to hole while Iran retains endless missiles and drones 16 miles away.

It was last time when they even announced that Marines were being moved into the area. The one thing that this announcement diffinitively proves is that we will or will not be taking Kharg Island.

You are not allowed to support President Trump on FR. This place is a DNC sewer.

Interesting you created your account Nov 2019 during the steal. Is that a coincidence or are you a DNC mole?
