Story summary
- U.S. President Donald Trump is considering military action to seize Kharg Island, which could disrupt Iran's revenue.
- Kharg Island handles 90-95% of Iran's crude exports, making it a strategic target in the conflict between the United States and Israel.
- Recent U.S. strikes targeted military assets on Kharg Island, sparing oil infrastructure.
- Controlling Kharg would not guarantee Iran's oil production because Iran could retaliate by targeting U.S. interests in the region.
