Donald Trump posted a video clip showing military strikes by the US just hours after the attack on Iran's Kharg Island, which he said earlier Friday the US had 'obliterated.'

The Daily Mail has reached out to the White House and the Pentagon for comment.

The US Embassy in Baghdad had renewed high warning levels for an attack just before a missile struck a helipad on the compound.

On Friday, the embassy renewed its Level 4 security alert for Iraq, warning that Iran and Iran-aligned militia groups have previously carried out attacks against U.S. citizens, interests and infrastructure, and “may continue to target them.”

The projectile landed within the embassy’s boundaries after the Green Zone, the heavily fortified district in central Baghdad that houses Iraqi government institutions and foreign embassies, added the security officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity as they are not authorized to speak with the press.

There was no immediate comment from the US Embassy in Baghdad.

The sprawling embassy complex, one of the largest US diplomatic facilities in the world, has been repeatedly targeted by rockets and drones in the past by Iran-aligned militias.

These groups have recently stepped up attacks on bases hosting US and coalition troops.

A drone strike in northern Iraq on Thursday killed a French soldier and wounded several others stationed there as part of an international coalition.

Donald Trump decried the media refusing to accept the successes of the war on Iran before suggesting the regime wanted to make a deal.

The president made the declaration in a late night post to his Truth Social account.

'The Fake News Media hates to report how well the United States Military has done against Iran, which is totally defeated and wants a deal - But not a deal that I would accept! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT.'

Tehran has warned that any attack on its oil and energy infrastructure will illicit a retaliatory attack on oil firms in the region linked to the US, according ot Iranian media quoted by Reuters.

Iran's military have since said any US-linked firm would 'immediately be destoryed and turned into a pile of ashes.

The country's news agencies, Fars and Tasnim, said the announcement was 'in response' to remarks made by Donald Trump.

Forty-five people have been arrested by police in Abu Dhabi, including foreign nationals.

They have been arrested for 'spreading misinformation and filming and sharing event locations' as Iranian drones rained on the region.

The Abu Dhabi Police said:

'The Abu Dhabi Police Criminal Investigation Department arrested 45 individuals of various nationalities for filming different locations during ongoing events and posting them on social media platforms.

They were also accused of spreading inaccurate and misleading information, which could incite public opinion and spread rumours within the community.'

The US President announced earlier that the US military had 'totally oblitirated' every military target on Iran's Kharg Island.

He said via Truth Social:

Moments ago, at my direction, 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 in Iran’s crown jewel, Kharg 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.

He added:

Iran has NO ability to defend anything that we want to attack - There is nothing they can do about it!

Iran's miltiary and all others involved with this Terrorist Regime, would be wise to lay down their arms, and save what's left of their county, which isn't much.

It is believed an Iranian drone destroyed a radar system near the US Embassy in the Iraqi capital.

An Ohio Air Force soldier has been named as one of the six US servicemembers who died when a refueling aircraft crashed in Iraq this week.

Tyler Simmons, 28, was one of the three National Guard Airmen from Ohio involved in the deadly crash aboard a US KC-135 plane that went down on Thursday.

All six members on board perished from the crash, as the US-Israel war with Iran rages into its 15th day.

'We extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Tyler Simmons, whose life was taken far too soon in a recent accident in Iraq,' Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther wrote on Facebook.

A missile struck a helipad inside the US Embassy in Baghdad, two security officials said.

The projectile landed within the embassy’s boundaries after the Green Zone, the heavily fortified district in central Baghdad that houses Iraqi government institutions and foreign embassies, added the security officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity as they are not authorized to speak with the press.

Video obtained by the Associated Press showed smoke billowing from inside the compound.

Iran’s parliament speaker warned on Thursday that attacks on the Persian Gulf islands on Iran’s southern maritime frontier would provoke a new level of retaliation, underscoring how central they are to the country’s economy and security.

In a social media post, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf said Iran “will abandon all restraint” if the islands come under attack and said Trump will be responsible for “the blood of American soldiers.”

Although they account for only a small share of Iran’s territory, the islands carry outsized importance because of their oil facilities and strategic location.

The small coral island about 21 miles off Iran’s coast is the primary terminal through which nearly all of Iran’s oil exports pass.

Iran has exported 13.7 million barrels since the war started, and multiple tankers were seen on satellite imagery Wednesday loading at Kharg, according to TankerTrackers.com, maritime intelligence company.

Iran gets a significant share of its $78billion a year in revenue from oil, with shipments flowing to countries like China. A strike on Kharg would not only damage Iran’s current government but also could undermine the viability of whatever might eventually replace it.

Kharg Island, Qeshm Island, and the tiny islands of Abu Musa and the Greater and Lesser Tunb carry outsized importance because of their oil facilities and strategic location.

“A direct strike would immediately halt the bulk of Iran’s crude exports, likely triggering severe retaliation,” JPMorgan said in an investment note this week.

In an interview with Brian Kilmeade recorded Thursday and aired Friday morning, President Donald Trump became defensive when asked if he was 'thinking about taking Kharg Island,' which he later Friday claimed the US military 'obliterated.'
