SC commutes death penalty of 15 convicts due to delay, mental illness

US President Donald Trump said the United States military could strike Iran’s strategic Kharg Island again — “a few more times… just for fun.” Trump claimed earlier US strikes had “totally demolished” most of the island, which serves as the backbone of Iran’s oil exports. The remarks came as tensions escalate over the security of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for global oil shipments. Trump also warned of a stronger US push to secure the waterway and urged allied nations to join the operation, while saying Tehran’s current terms for ending the conflict are “not good enough yet.”
