US President Donald Trump said attacking oil infrastructure on Iran’s main export hub, Kharg Island, remains on the table following earlier strikes on military targets there.
“We can do that on five minutes notice it’ll be over, but for purposes of someday rebuilding that country,” Trump said in remarks at the White House Monday. “I guess we did the right thing, but it may not stay that way.”
