President Donald Trump anticipated new strikes against Iran on Thursday and said the U.S. will be "taking Kharg Island, and other oil infrastructure points, and assume total control of their Oil and Gas Markets."

"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," Trump said in a social media publication.
