WASHINGTON, March ⁠13 (Reuters) - U.S. President ⁠Donald Trump on ‌Friday Said on Friday that the United States carried ​out strikes ⁠against "every military target" ⁠on Iran's Kharg Island ⁠export ‌hub.

"For reasons of decency, ⁠I have chosen NOT to ​wipe ‌out the Oil ⁠Infrastructure on ​the Island," Trump wrote on Truth ⁠Social.

"However, should Iran, ​or anyone else, do anything to interfere with ⁠the Free and Safe Passage of Ships through the Strait ​of ⁠Hormuz, I will immediately ​reconsider this ‌decision."
