The U.S. carried out "dozens" of strikes against military targets on Iran's Kharg Island late Monday night and early Tuesday morning, a senior U.S. official told Fox News.
President Donald Trump first floated attacks on the Iranian stronghold last week as his threats over reopening the Strait of Hormuz kicked off.
"U.S. hit dozens of military targets on Kharg Island overnight,” the official told Fox on Tuesday.
There have been no reports that the U.S. has deployed troops to strike the island.

Trump warns Iran: 'A whole civilization will die tonight' if a deal isn't made
Good.
Now watch iran try to stop the bridge and power plant bombings at the 11th hour......they’ll do something.
GREAT! Uncivilized barbarians should be eliminated.
How big is Karg Island, anyway?
I don’t know but the Iranians will have enough rubble to be able to crush gravel for years by the time its over
Coordinates 29°14′42″N 50°18′36″E
Area 20 km2 (7.7 sq mi)
Highest elevation 70 m (230 ft)
7.7 sq miles , not that big as islands go.
As the President wisely stated “they are nothing but a bunch of bu11 shite artists”
Think Greenland, but much, much smaller.
(I thought we already bombed Kharg’s military targets days or weeks ago?)
how could they be so dumb as to put 80% of their oil exports on an island?
We should take over the island AND THE OIL and dole it out only to a new government group WE DESIGNATE in the south of Iran.
At this point, he’s my the whole island. Make it look like the moon.
With the way the Euroweenies are, make them rebuild it.
Makes sense....Iran isn’t going to destroy the Island that feeds them.
5 miles long 2.5-3 miles wide....
Example:
The main island of Key West is about 3.5 to 4 miles long and roughly 1 mile wide at its widest part.
Kargh is 300 miles north of Strait of Hormuz.
This is why there is a small carrier in the strait with a brigade of marines on board.
