CNN: According to intelligence data, Iran is preparing to repel a possible ground operation on Kharg Island. Sources report that the island has a multi-level defense system, and in recent weeks, additional man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS) have been deployed there. Also, around the island, including the coast, where a US amphibious landing is possible, anti-personnel and anti-tank mines are being placed. In southern Iran, the army has been put on high alert. It is reported that the US is considering the possibility of landing on the islands of Abu Musa and Tonb through the UAE to open the Strait of Hormuz. If the escalation continues, the first ground battles on the islands could take place as early as this weekend. The UAE could suffer serious losses in this situation. ©K.M

🇺🇸🇮🇷 A tiny island in the Persian Gulf has suddenly become one of the most dangerous flashpoints in this war. Kharg Island sits just 30 km off Iran’s coast and handles more than 90% of the country’s oil exports. It also stores around 30 million barrels of crude. The U.S. recently struck over 90 military targets on the island, hitting air defenses, naval sites, and the airport. The oil terminal itself was spared. Why? Because shutting Kharg down could shock global oil markets overnight. Iran has already warned that if its oil infrastructure is attacked, U.S.-linked energy facilities could “turn to ashes.” Now tensions are rising again. The U.S. is deploying 2,500 Marines and the amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli to the region. The question now: are they preparing for a ground war, or a move to seize Kharg Island? GeoDynamicss

🚨 JUST IN: The US is considering SEIZING Kharg Island, which is the MAIN sea port for Iran's oil exports 30 MILLION barrels of oil are stored there, and 90% of their oil exports come through there. "We attacked Kharg Island last night. We knocked out a piece. I said, 'don't touch the oil, because maybe we'll take over Kharg Island.' We may take over Kharg Island. And there's not a THING they can do about it."

The US has one move left against Iran. Kharg Island. 90% of Iran’s oil exports. One tiny island. Seize it and Iran’s economy dies. But Iran has been preparing for this for 20 years. This won’t be easy. #IranWar #KhargIsland #OilCrisis #USA #Israel #Iran

🇺🇸🇮🇷 2 U.S. Marine Expeditionary Units (MEU) are heading to the Middle East, and Kharg Island may be the target. Nearly 90% of Iran's crude exports flow through that single island. Trump already hit its defenses earlier this month, deliberately sparing the oil terminals. A warning shot. Now the next move is being discussed. MEUs are apparently purpose-built for exactly this kind of operation. Similar units executed a comparable operation in South Korea 3 years ago. The math Tehran is staring at: No Kharg = No oil. No oil = No war funding. Source: CNN

BREAKING: Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg says that the Iraqi Kurds are doing something that's "really hard to do" by starting a FULL SCALE ground invasion into Iran: "people don't realize how big it is." "What I would hope they do is go take Kharg Island" which is known as an "oil island." "Kharg Island is in the northern Persian Gulf. It is an island. It's offshore about 18 miles. And if you take that out, that island, that's 80 to 90% of the petroleum usage that the Iranians have." "You basically shut them off economically. They cannot support China. They cannot support Russia as well. And sooner or later, the other side is going to realize this is just a bad news thing. So 10% right now, today, 10% of China's oil comes from Iran." "When you add the 5% of their oil that came out of Venezuela, that's 15% cut in their economics and oil. So I would prefer they do something like that."

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The U.S. may be preparing for its biggest ground move in Iran. All centers to control Iran’s oil money: Kharg Island. The U.S. already hit it hard, striking dozens of targets, but held back from destroying the oil infrastructure. Now that could change. Thousands of Marines are moving into the region, along with airborne troops and constant surveillance over the island. There are 2 real options: surround it and cut the money, or take it by force. But Iran is preparing. Reinforcing defenses, laying mines, and positioning weapons just miles away on the mainland. Any landing would face missiles, drones, and heavy resistance from the start. And this is where the real risk begins. Source: Business Basics YT

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Kharg Island sits just 15 miles off Iran’s coast, comfortably inside the range of Iranian missiles, drones, and coastal artillery. So if the U.S. ever tried to land Marines there they’d be storming a beach while the mainland shoots at them the entire time. Kharg handles around 90% of Iran’s oil exports, basically the country’s economic lifeline. Control the island and you control the tap. But trying to seize it means fighting in a tiny, exposed patch of water where Iran can throw mines, drones, missiles, and swarm boats at you nonstop. Capturing Kharg might choke Iran’s economy, but it's not easy. Sources: CSIS, ISW, IISS

Bill Hemmer breaks down the entire picture, explaining why the fight over Kharg Island isn't just about territory — it's about the economic lifeline of Iran. “The reason why this is so significant is because if you take control of Kharg Island, you will take control yet again of the economy of Iran… But if you take Kharg Island, you have to control it.

According to CNN, citing sources with knowledge on the matter, Iran is increasing efforts to militarily reinforce the economically and strategically important Kharg Island. Sources tell CNN that Iran has reinforced the island with larger troop formations, antipersonnel mines, man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS), and other defensive measures, as CNN reports that individuals in U.S. President Donald J. Trump’s circle have highlighted these measures as potential reasons why a ground operation to take the island may be costly.

BREAKING: President Trump says the US just carried out "one of the most powerful bombing raids in the history of the Middle East" targeting Iran's Kharg Island. Trump also threatens to "wipe out" Iran's oil infrastructure on the island if Iran interferes with the "free and safe passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz." Kharg Island has been described as the "crown jewel" of Iran's oil industry. It is a vital, tiny island in the northern Persian Gulf that manages, 90% of Iran's crude oil exports. Kharg Island alone handles ~2% of global oil supply, mainly to China In fact, last month, production coming from Kharg Island hit 3 million barrels per day. History has it that Trump makes tons of major market-moving decisions on Friday nights, just hours after markets are closed. Trump will look to apply more pressure this weekend before markets open. He has 45 hours until futures open. Also Earlier today, the Pentagon approved the deployment of 3,000 Marines and sailors. Hope it is just pressure tactics and not practically deployment- or Trump's move to choke Iran's oil production, China’s supply, and boots on ground
