Iran War Day 15: Kharg Island Struck, Baghdad Embassy Hit and Iran Threatens to Destroy Every Oil Facility in the Gulf

Day fifteen of Operation Epic Fury and the United States crossed a line that had never been crossed before. Kharg Island — the tiny strip of land that processes ninety percent of Iran's crude oil exports — was bombed overnight. Trump called it one of the most powerful bombing raids in the history of the Middle East. He said every military target was totally obliterated. He said, for reasons of decency, he chose not to destroy the oil infrastructure. For now.Iran's response was immediate and sweeping. Its armed forces warned they would target every oil, economic, and energy facility across the region with American ties. Saudi Aramco. Qatar Energy. Abu Dhabi National Oil Company. All of it. The IRGC separately told civilians to evacuate UAE ports and docks where US forces are based.Then a missile struck the helipad inside the US Embassy compound in Baghdad. Smoke rose above one of the largest American diplomatic facilities in the world.Pete Hegseth declared no quarter, no mercy — a phrase legal experts called a potential war crime. The US State Department put a ten million dollar bounty on Iran's Supreme Leader. Ten thousand interceptor drones were ordered to the Middle East. Two thousand two hundred Marines sailed toward the Gulf. Brent crude hit one hundred and three dollars. US petrol reached three dollars and sixty-eight cents — a twenty-three percent rise since the war began.Day fifteen. Kharg Island struck. Baghdad hit. The Gulf bracing for energy war.
