WASHINGTON, March 13 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday Said on Friday that the United States carried out strikes against "every military target" on Iran's Kharg Island export hub.
"For reasons of decency, I have chosen NOT to wipe out the Oil Infrastructure on the Island," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
"However, should Iran, or anyone else, do anything to interfere with the Free and Safe Passage of Ships through the Strait of Hormuz, I will immediately reconsider this decision."
