In the island referred to by Trump, key infrastructure for the export of Iranian oil is located. From the island, 90% of the country's total crude oil exports are managed. "Our weapons are the most powerful and sophisticated the world has ever known. But, for reasons of decency, I have decided not to destroy the island's oil infrastructure," the occupant of the White House pointed out. However, he added that if Iran or other countries interfere with the passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz, he will immediately reconsider that decision. The head of the White House reiterated that both in his first term and in the current one he has improved his country's Armed Forces, while Iran has no capacity to "defend anything we want to attack". "Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, nor will it have the capacity to threaten the United States of America, the Middle East or, in fact, the world," he emphasized.Aggression against Iran
- Israel and USA launched a joint aggression against Iran on the morning of Saturday, February 28, with the stated objective of "eliminating the threats" of the Islamic Republic.
