WASHINGTON, June 11 (Reuters) – The United States will hit Iran “very hard tonight” and will soon take control of the Middle Eastern country’s oil and gas infrastructure and markets, U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday.
“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,” Trump said on Truth Social.
