President Donald Trump warned that the United States may conduct additional strikes on Iran's Kharg Island oil export hub 'just for fun.'

Speaking to NBC News on Saturday, Trump said U.S. forces had 'demolished' most of Kharg Island, targeting over 90 military sites, including missile bunkers and naval facilities, while sparing the vital oil infrastructure. 'We may hit it a few more times just for fun,' he added, noting that he avoided damaging energy lines because 'having to rebuild that would take years.'

The remarks came as the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran entered its third week, with exchanges of airstrikes and missiles continuing overnight into Sunday. Israel launched wide-scale strikes on western Iran, while Iran fired multiple waves of missiles at Israel and its allies, including drones intercepted by Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

Kharg Island, located 15 miles off Iran's Gulf coast, handles about 90 percent of the country's oil exports, making it a cornerstone of Tehran's economy. U.S. Central Command confirmed the strikes hit military targets but preserved export terminals to limit escalation, though Trump indicated future attacks could target energy assets if needed.

Trump rejected overtures for a ceasefire, stating the terms were 'not good enough yet' despite Iran's reported interest in a deal. He urged nations like China, France, Japan, the United Kingdom, and South Korea to deploy warships to secure the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint for global oil shipments now largely paralyzed by the conflict. 'The Countries of the World that receive Oil through the Hormuz Strait must take care of that passage, and we will help- A LOT!' he posted on social media.

Iran vowed retaliation, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi warning of strikes on U.S. companies and facilities in the region if energy sites are hit. Tehran already disrupted a major UAE energy hub with drones and urged evacuations from Gulf ports. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei insisted the strait remain closed, while the Revolutionary Guard labeled U.S.-linked sites legitimate targets.

The war, which began on February 28, has killed over 2,000 people, mostly in Iran, and driven oil prices to four-year highs, fueling global fuel cost surges. UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband called reopening the strait a 'priority for the world,' with allies discussing coalition options but no immediate warship commitments.

President Trump expressed surprise at Iran's attacks on Gulf allies, calling them 'unnecessarily' targeted, and claimed the U.S. has 'beaten and completely decimated Iran' militarily and economically. As strikes persist, including Israeli operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon, the conflict shows no signs of abating.
