Trump hints at Iran invasion as he vows US forces will take 'crown jewel' island Donald Trump's latest threat comes after the US and Iran traded strikes for a second day, pushing the Middle East closer to the resumption of a full-scale war Donald Trump says Iran will be hit "very hard tonight," as he threatened to take the regimes "crown jewel" Kharg Island. The Truth Social post by the President came after the US and Iran traded strikes for a second day, pushing the Middle East closer to the resumption of a full-scale war. The American attack, which lasted into Thursday morning in Iran, appeared more intense and wider than the day before. Iran released little information on the extent of the damage and said it fired back at Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan, as it had a day before. And now in a new threat Trump said: "The United States will be hitting Iran (Whose Navy, Air Force, Radar, Anti Aircraft, and all other forms of Defense, together with most of its offensive capability, are GONE!), VERY HARD TONIGHT. "At some point in the not too distant future, we will be taking Kharg Island, and other oil infrastructure points, and assume total control of their Oil and Gas Markets, much like we have with Venezuela, which is working out brilliantly for both Venezuela and the United States of America. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP." This is a Breaking News story.
