🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 U.S officials are reportedly discussing a plan to seize Iran’s Kharg Island, the chokepoint responsible for roughly 90% of Iran’s oil exports. If the proposal moves forward, the island would fall under direct U.S. military control in the next phase of the war. And Kharg is just the opening move. Once it’s secured, the plan shifts to locking down Iran’s nuclear facilities and tightening U.S. control over the Strait of Hormuz itself, the economic jugular of the entire region. Source: Axios

EXCLUSIVE: Retired 4-Star General Joe Votel On What It Would Take to Secure Kharg Island, Iran’s Primary Oil Export Terminal “If we made the decision to put troops on, troops could get on and secure that oil infrastructure, deny its use to Iran, and then hold it either for a short period of time or for a longer period of time. If we make a decision to stay there longer to preserve that force on the ground, then of course we've got to think about things like reinforcements.
