Trump threatens to destroy Iran's main oil export island

President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to destroy Iran's Kharg Island, which is the country's primary oil export terminal. He has framed this as a potential strategy to pressure Iran into a deal without deploying U.S. troops, at one point calling the idea a 'gift' from Iran.

Iranian officials have dismissed Trump's claims, stating that no oil infrastructure on Kharg Island has been damaged. The threats focus on the island's critical role, as it handles a large portion of Iran's oil exports.
