U.S., Iran exchange strikes for first time since July as Trump threatens strategic oil hub

Trump threatens Iran's Kharg Island as hostilities escalate

U.S. President Donald Trump has extended his military threats to Iran's Kharg Island, the primary oil export hub for Tehran. U.S. forces struck two Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island on Sunday.

Iran's Revolutionary Guard responded with strikes on American bases in Jordan, warning of increasingly forceful counterattacks.

This conflict has escalated again, as the U.S. and Iran exchanged strikes, renewing fears of further hostilities.

Trump also shared an AI-generated video depicting the bombing of Kharg Island.

The latest military actions have prompted oil prices to rise above $90 a barrel.
