WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump on Friday, March 13, said the United States carried out strikes against "every military target" on Iran's Kharg Island export hub. The POTUS mentioned that the US Central Command (CENTCOM)-led attack was meant to send a warning rather than weaken Iran’s energy exports. 

Following this, a rumor circulated online claiming that Trump predicted an attack on Kharg Island way back in 1988. But what's the truth behind this? Let us find out below.

Exactly. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in an interview essentially said, "Bring it on, we'll be waiting for you."

US soldiers who don't want to die fighting a war half-way around the world and who have families and a life back in the US
VS
Iranians fighting for their homeland on their homeland and who consider the highest honor in this life is to martyr themselves to protect their country and culture.

And the US has seen this is Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan and yet the US presidents time and again do the same thing
Why? Because they consider the average US service man and women to be expendable cattle and cannon fodder to fight wars in which they themselves make millions and billions of USD in profits. That's why this s**t never ends. I'm sure Trump, his family, his friends, and connected members of Congress are going to make a killing in the war industries on the backs of the deaths of US soldiers.

Barron Trump should be in the first boat to land on Iranian soil. #DraftBarronTrump

Someone tell Trump and also tell him that half a million Iranians died in that war - he's got a lot of work ahead. Not that he will be working he will be on the golf course when US soldiers come home in body bags or limbs missing or brains scambled for life.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kharg_Island

The island was bombed in the 1980s during the Iran–Iraq War,^[12] with the facilities put out of commission in the autumn of 1986. Heavy bombing of the Kharg Island facilities from 1980 to 1988 by the Iraqi Air Force during the war, destroyed most of the terminal facilities. Kharg Island is situated in the middle of the Darius Oilfield, also destroyed by the intensive bombing. Repair to all facilities was very slow, even after the war ended in 1988. In 2009, Iran exported and swapped 950 million barrels of crude oil via the southern Kharg oil terminal.^[11]

I think trumps want capture kharg island for the oil income

“President Donald Trump on Friday night announced that the United States had bombed Kharg Island, targeting Iran’s most critical oil terminal in an attack that Tehran has warned would mark an escalation of the conflict.

Located about 15 miles from the Iranian mainland in the Persian Gulf, Kharg Island is the centerpiece of Iran’s oil-based economy. About 90 percent of the country’s oil exports move through facilities there, and an attack could strangle what remains of Tehran’s economy — including the government’s limited ability to pay its military.”

Assymetric warfare. Iran can and does hit American interests by other means. When they tried it with Saddam after 1991, Saddam lacked the imagination and global reach. America will come to an accomodation with the Mullahs; American will guarantee Iran's security and participation in world oil markets, and in return get a lucrative cut. America has no friends, only interests. There is no reason for the US to continue to be friends with the uncivilised Saudis and Gulf Arabs. Israel probably needs to learn the lesson that it only exists because of America, and it shouldn't be the tail wagging the dog.

America made friends with communist Vietnam, despite suspicions that Vietnam continued to hold and torture American POWs.

Btw, what this has done is to create the precedent for Iran to now begin bombing "every military target" occupied by US forces in the entire Middle East where the US military launches campaigns against Iran. Any country assisting the US or Israel in their unprovoked war of aggression against Iran are complicit co-belligerents and are valid targets for Iranian missiles strikes. That includes EU countries as well if Iranian missiles can reach out and touch them.
It the US blows up the oil facilities, then it create the precedent for Iran to now begin bombing "oil facility" of countries who host US and Israeli forces in the entire Middle East where the US military launches campaigns against Iran. If the US and Israel target civilian infrastructure and civilians. Well like Pete Hegseth said, "We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement, just common sense, maximum lethality and authority for warfighters."

Well, you know the drill as above: What is good for the goose is good for the gander. When you open a can of "whoop-ass" be sure not to get any on ya! Quid Pro Quo Is a Mofo

I don't think I'm the only one here who is sick and tired of the United State's wars of aggression that just never end!
