Meanwhile, Trump claimed Friday night that the United States had "completely annihilated" several military targets in Kharg and warned that it would attack oil infrastructure in the area if "Iran, or anyone else, attempted to interfere with the free and safe transit of ships through the Strait of Hormuz."
