US Conducts Over 90 Strikes on Iran's Kharg Island Targeting Military Sites

The United States launched over 90 strikes on Iran's Kharg Island.

The strikes targeted military bunkers and radar stations, not oil infrastructure.

Vice President Vance said the strikes did not mark a change in strategy.

Trump had threatened complete demolition of Iran's energy infrastructure.

The strikes were described as restrikes on targets hit before.

Kharg Island is roughly one-third the size of Manhattan and serves as Iran's main artery for crude export.

Nearly 50 targets were struck while avoiding oil tanker docks.

The island had become a potential seizure target for US Marines.

Iranian assessments found most oil transport infrastructure intact.

Trump acknowledged the strikes but offered no direct comment.

Democratic lawmakers sharply criticized Trump's rhetoric.
