United States President Donald Trump has threatened further strikes on Iran’s Kharg Island and urged allies to deploy warships to secure the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway critical for global energy supplies, as Tehran promises to intensify its response.
Trump told the NBC News broadcaster on Saturday that the US strikes “totally demolished” much of the oil export hub and warned of more attacks on the island.
