What actions has the U.S. taken in response to Iran's oil shipments?
Hitting a valuable island, I'm Roger Stern, Fox News. Oil for oil. As Iran blocks Western oil shipments in the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. struck Iran's Karg Island, the main hub for Iranian oil exports.
And where he's finding that leverage is Karg Island, which is responsible for 96% of Iran's oil exports. And right now, President Trump isn't bombing Iran's oil facilities on the island, but he did take out the military targets. The statement from President Trump on True Social announcing his actions, he said, quote,
The United States Central Command executed one of the most powerful bombing raids in the history of the Middle East and totally obliterated every military target on Iran's crown jewel, Karg Island. I have chosen not to wipe out the oil infrastructure on the island.
However, should Iran or anyone else do anything to interfere with the free and safe passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz, I will immediately reconsider this decision.
Fox's Lucas Tomlinson in Dubai. The U.S. says it struck all important targets on Karg Island. The Iran war is now in its second week as Iran responds by attacking other nations in the Persian Gulf. Many congressional Republicans are holding firm in their threat not to pass other legislation until the House approves the controversial SAVE Act, requiring voters to show proof of citizenship.
Republican Rep. Anna Polina Luna on Fox's Sunday in America.
We're willing to hold the line. Look, we are on the side of history here. We have the American people with us. This is an overwhelmingly popular issue and the president supports it. And so, Mr. President, we will be doing everything we can in the House to actually get this on your desk. And yes, that means going up against the Senate.
Save stands for secure American voter eligibility. Opponents argue would make it harder for legitimate voters to register. America is listening to Fox News.
