U.S. strikes Kharg Island, official says; Trump doubles down on massive attack threats
The president has threatened massive U.S. attacks on civilian infrastructure and brushed off concerns about possible war crimes ahead of his 8 p.m. ET deadline.
U.S. STRIKES KHARG ISLAND:
Even before Trumps deadline, an intense wave of strikes was reported on bridges across Iran and on Kharg Island, the countrys key oil export hub. The U.S. military struck dozens of military targets on the island overnight, a U.S. official told NBC News.
Bret Baier said on Fox News that President Donald Trump called him this morning and said that 8 p.m. is happening as of now, referencing the threatened strikes on Irans bridges and energy infrastructure tonight.
Baier added: Now, he said if negotiations move forward today and there is something concrete, that could change, but at this hour he didnt want to put odds on it but he said it is moving forward with the plans that we have.
