Trump Bombs Iran's Kharg Island: Red Line Crossed, China's War Entry Feared
•US President Donald Trump announced heavy bombing of military targets on Iran's Kharg Island, calling it the Middle East's most powerful operation.
•Kharg Island, Iran's 'crown jewel,' handles 90% of its crude oil exports; oil facilities were spared but threatened if Strait of Hormuz is blocked.
•The attack sparked global concern over skyrocketing oil prices, with experts warning of 1.5-2 million barrels/day loss if Kharg's oil infrastructure is hit.
•China, the largest crude oil importer reliant on Iranian oil via Kharg, faces economic pressure and may be forced to intervene or support Iran.
•US escalated military presence; Iran's Supreme Leader threatened retaliation, raising fears of a potential Third World War.
