United States President Donald Trump has declared that the U.S. will hit Iran “very hard tonight” and eventually takes Iran’s oil infrastructure hub Kharg Island.
Trump’s declaration on Thursday, June 11, 2026, comes after the United States and Iran traded air attacks for the second successive day.
He wrote on Truth Social: “The United States will be hitting Iran (Whose Navy, Air Force, Radar, Anti Aircraft, and all other forms of Defense, together with most of its offensive capability, are GONE!), VERY HARD TONIGHT.
“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, which is working out brilliantly for both Venezuela and the United States of America. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
‘We’ll hit them hard’: Trump declares fresh attacks on Iran
Iran has yet respond to Trump’s latest remarks but the country’s foreign ministry said earlier on Thursday that the ceasefire agreed in early April had been effectively rendered meaningless by the latest U.S. attacks.
The war has killed thousands of people, mainly in Iran and Lebanon, and pushed up global oil prices since the U.S. and Israel launched heavy airstrikes on Iran on February 28, 2026, while talks on halting the conflict have stalled.
