According to Mars Finance, on March 14th, Iranian state media reported that the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps stated that following the US military's attack on the Iranian island of Kharg, US ports, docks, and military outposts in the United Arab Emirates have become legitimate targets. On the evening of March 13th, Eastern Time, US President Trump posted on social media that the US Central Command "just" bombed Kharg Island, Iran's oil export hub, "completely destroying all military targets on the island," as instructed by him. Trump stated that he did not choose to destroy the island's oil infrastructure. However, he threatened that if Iran or any other country interferes with the free and safe passage of ships in the Strait of Hormuz in any way, "I will immediately reconsider this decision."
