US President Donald Trump vowed to strike Iran again on Thursday, June 11, and threatened to take control of the Islamic republic's energy infrastructure, including Kharq Island. Iran's largest oil terminal is located there, through which the vast majority of its crude exports pass.
"The United States will launch a VERY HEAVY strike against Iran (whose Navy, Air Force, radar, anti-aircraft guns and all other defenses, along with most of its offensive capabilities have been DESTROYED!) TODAY EVERY ETERNIGHT," the American leader wrote on his Truth Social media page. The capture of Hark Island, he said, will happen "at some point in the not so distant future."
Iran has responded by threatening to attack Elon Musk's companies in the Middle East, Iran's state-run Fars news agency reported Thursday. Tehran will add to the list of targets Starlink ground stations in Israel, Qatar, Jordan, UAE and Oman, as well as the infrastructure of Alfa Dhabi and Mubadala - SpaceX investors, the report said.
A truce between the US and Iran that had lasted two months broke down over the weekend after an incident involving the shooting down of a US military helicopter triggered an exchange of strikes.
