Key events that occurred:
March 13, 2026: The US launched “one of the most powerful airstrikes in Middle Eastern history.”
US forces destroyed over 90 military targets on Kharg Island (including naval mine depots, missile silos, naval bases, radar, and airfields).
→ Trump declared on Truth Social: “We totally obliterated every military target on Iran’s ‘jewel’ Kharg Island.”
Important: The US deliberately avoided touching the oil and gas facilities (processing 90% of Iran’s crude oil exports) as a “concession for decency,” but warned it would strike if Iran did not reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
Why is it called “THIS Shouldn’t Be Possible”?
Khag Island is located right off the Iranian coast, protected by air defense systems, mines, and anti-ship missiles. Many experts once considered it “unbelievable” that the US could conduct large-scale precision bombing here without Iranian aircraft being sH๏τ down. But the US succeeded thanks to B-2 Spirit bombers, F-35s, and cruise missiles.

Current Situation (March 27, 2026) – “U.S. Just Got Unleashed”:
Trump is seriously considering further escalation scenarios:
Deploying Marines to seize Kharg Island to gain complete control of the oil resources.
Or bombing all oil and gas facilities if Iran continues to close the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran is hastily laying mines, anti-personnel booby traps, and anti-tank weapons around the island to prepare a “death trap” if the US lands an attack.
Reputable sources are reporting extensively:
CNN, Reuters, NBC, Axios, PBS, and Al Jazeera all confirm that the US has “unleashed” the first strike on Kharg and is preparing the next.
Trump gave Iran until April 6 to negotiate and open the strait, otherwise he would “reconsider” and strike at its oil facilities.
In short: The headline you provided isn’t fake news, but rather how the media portrayed the March 13 attack and the risk of the US “unleashing” Kharg Island – possibly seizing the island or completely destroying its oil infrastructure.
