The USA attacked places in Iran. The attacks hit the island Kharg. Many oil facilities stand there. The USA says: We destroyed all military targets on the island. Donald Trump wrote this online. He is the President of the USA.
The USA did not attack the oil facilities yet. Trump says: We did this as a sign of respect. But he threatens Iran. If Iran stops ships, the USA will attack the oil facilities too. Many ships travel through the Strait of Hormuz. This is an important path in the sea.
Iran also threatens back. It wants to attack energy plants of USA partners. The USA sends more soldiers to the area now. 2,500 Marines arrive. These are special soldiers for fights on ships and coasts. New warships also go to the Middle East.
