The United States launched a major airstrike on the Chaharmahal Island near Asaluyeh to destroy an underground crude-oil storage facility that has been supplying Tehran since 2018. President Donald Trump confirmed these attacks as part of his strategy against Iran and warned Americans in Europe, specifically Germany's Berlin airport, not to travel there due to potential Iranian retaliation involving drones or missiles targeting US citizens abroad while the conflict continues across Iraq and Syria with no immediate end date expected by experts like Dr.
