Trump says US may strike Iran's Kharg Island oil export hub 'just for fun'

Source: The Guardian

Donald Trump said on Saturday that the United States may carry out more strikes on Iran’s Kharg Island oil export hub “just for fun”, saying that while Tehran appears ready to make a deal to end the conflict, “the terms aren’t good enough yet”.

He said the US strikes had “totally demolished” most of Kharg Island, telling NBC News that “we may hit it a few more times just for fun.”

During that same interview with NBC, Trump questioned, without attribution, whether Iran’s new supreme leader “is even alive”.

Trump also said it’s not clear whether Iran has dropped mines in the strait of Hormuz in the 30-minute telephone call with NBC.

But there's no money for extra SS workers, SNAP paying for kids to eat, nor Healthcare for Americans.
