Trump Was Sending Message To Iran With Kharg Island Post, Says Vance
"The president likes to switch it up on social media a little bit. He would be the first to say he doesn't make announcements about military actions on social media, but I think that he's sending a message to the Iranians," Vance said when asked about Trump's post.
Trump's one-line social media post on Sunday was accompanied by an AI-generated video clip. A US official said yesterday the military had not targeted Kharg Island in overnight strikes. An Iranian official dismissed Trump's post as "laughable".
Attacking Kharg, which handled 90% of Iran's oil exports before the war launched by US and Israeli attacks on February 28, would severely disrupt its energy trade and put huge pressure on its economy.
In describing the first known US military strikes since late July, a US official said forces attacked two Iranian launchers on Larak Island. (Reuters)
