Subject: The US Vs Iran

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

Hoa Kỳ sẽ giáng những đòn tấn công rất mạnh vào Iran tối nay. Hải quân, Không quân, hệ thống radar, các phương tiện phòng không cùng mọi hình thức phòng thủ khác của Iran, cũng nhưphần lớn khả năng tác chiến tấn công của nước này, đều đã không còn.

Vào một thời điểm không quá xa trong tương lai, chúng ta sẽ tiếp quản đảo Kharg cùng các cơ sởhạ tầng dầu khí khác, đồng thời nắm toàn quyền kiểm soát thị trường dầu hỏa và khí đốt của họ, tương tự như những gì chúng ta đang thực hiện tại Venezuela. Chính sách đó đang mang lại kết quả rất tốt đẹp cho cả Venezuela lẫn Hợp Chủng Quốc Hoa Kỳ.

Xin cảm tạ sự quan tâm của quý vị đối với vấn đề này.

Tổng Thống DONALD J. TRUMP.

Last month, I directed our Great U.S. Military to execute a secret mission to support Oil Tankers and other Commercial Ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Today, I am pleased to announce that this effort has resulted in more than 100 MILLION Barrels of Oil making its way through the Strait, and into the Open Market. More than 200 Commercial Ships have safely traveled through the Strait. This wildly successful effort is because the UNITED STATES of AMERICA CONTROLS the Strait of Hormuz — NOT Iran. Their military is defeated, and their economy is lost. It’s over for Iran! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump threatens to take ‘total control’ of Iran’s oil industry as ceasefire teeters

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump threatened Thursday to launch major strikes on Iran and seize control of its oil and gas industries as continuing attacks between the warring countries pushed the Middle East closer to the resumption of a full-scale war.

Trump said in a social media post that the U.S. would hit Iran “VERY HARD TONIGHT” and would “assume total control” of Iran’s oil and gas industries, including the key Kharg Island oil terminal, in the “not too distant future.”

Trump compared his plans for Iran to how the U.S. assumed control of Venezuela’s oil sector after capturing then-president Nicolás Maduro in January.

The post come after the U.S and Iran traded strikes for a second straight day. The American attack, which lasted into Thursday morning in Iran, appeared more intense and widespread 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.

Trump’s threats on Thursday, while stark, represented his latest verbal escalation in the Iran war. In April, he warned Iran that “a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again” if it didn’t agree to his terms, before extending a ceasefire in the war.

Kharg Island — located on the other side of the Persian Gulf from U.S. bases in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia — is the beating heart of Iran’s oil industry, through which 90% of its exports pass. It is important because Iran’s coastline is mostly too shallow for tanker ships to dock.

American troops would be vulnerable on Kharg Island because of its close proximity — about 33 kilometers (21 miles) — to the Iranian mainland, from which missiles, drones and artillery could be fired.
