President Trump has threatened to hit Iran very hard tonight, sparking fears of troops on the ground and fears of a possible invasion.
The President also shared how he would be seizing control of its critical oil infrastructure. The news has been called a serious escalation in the ongoing conflict with Trump warning through a post on Truth Social that the US military would strike Iran and take over Kharg Island, which is the hub of Iran's oil economy.
However, he subsequently walked back the thought of a possible land invasion during a Fox News appearance, stating that he does not want to have to put boots on the ground and doubts that the American public has the stomach for it. The recent surge in hostilities follows a period of delicate ceasefire negotiations mediated by nations such as Pakistan and Qatar.
