Donald Trump said on Saturday that the United States may carry out more strikes on Iran’s vital Kharg Island oil export hub “just for fun”, rejecting the prospect of a swift peace deal with Tehran.
“The terms aren’t good enough yet,” the US president told NBC News. The Iranian regime wants to make an agreement, he claimed.
After days of conflicting messaging from the White House on how much longer it will continue to wage war on Iran, Trump alleged that US strikes had “totally demolished” most of Kharg Island, and told the network that its military may hit site “a few more times just for fun”.

“We’ve totally decimated it,” he said. “Except, as you know, I didn’t do anything having to do with the energy lines, because having to rebuild that would take years.”
The president also questioned, without attribution, whether Iran’s new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei “is even alive” amid speculation over his condition.
Is Stump still alive? Or is he brain-dead, at least? SAY ‘NO’ TO WAR! RESIST!
Just for fun? At least 13 soldiers are dead, dozens severely wounded, thousands of civilians dead over there and he said such a callous, incredibly insane thing publicly?
