Trump admin considering deploying troops to Iranian shores along Strait of Hormuz, Kharg Island:

“The president is focused on achieving all of the defined objectives of Operation Epic Fury: destroy Iran’s ballistic missile capacity, annihilate their navy, ensure their terrorist proxies cannot destabilize the region, and guarantee that Iran can never possess a nuclear weapon,” the official added. 

Kharg island is Key,its the creme la creme.

Kharg Island, 90% of Iran's crude oil exports come out of there and described as the regime's economic lifeline or Achilles heel,it has emerged as a prime strategic target in the ongoing U.S. Iran conflict, with recent reports indicating the administration is weighing options to deploy troops there to secure it alongside the Strait of H.

As discussions intensify around potential ground operations that could cripple Tehran's revenue and force capitulation, making Kharg the creme la creme for bringing the regime to giving in.

Graham says ‘no reason’ to invade Iran, but Trump should ‘take’ Kharg Island

“No, we’re not going to evade Iran,” Graham told Fox News’s Sean Hannity. “There’s no reason to, we’re going to destroy their ability to hurt us, have a nuclear weapon, build missiles to hit America and terrorize the region.”

The story is about a NYP & The Hill report

Amazing how the people supporting the no wars president are now cheering on his wars.

“Kharg Island — 90 percent of their income comes from oil and gas revenue,” he continued, adding that “100 percent of that revenue generating capabilities on a single island, Mr. President, take Kharg Island, this war is over.”

Lynsey is a war monger , that being said he has made repeated comparison's of the Iran regime as Nazi's.

Even more amazing how the "anti fascist" and "lets nook Moscow" brigade are suddenly on the islamo-fascist mullah team and pretending to be reborn as anti war activists. Nice try fellas, but its just irrational hate for DJT causing the mental gymnastics.

Iranian women will never forgive the western lefts treachery.

Just like all those leftists who betrayed the Venezuelans who are now enjoying the fruits of democracy thanks to Donald Trump?

Do you recall what Israeli intelligence said about the likelihood of the Iranian government being overthrown? Do you need a reminder?

On Iran: This has been compared to the 30's regime that wants to shape the world to their beliefs.

Graham...

"Like in the 30s, people didn't want to believe that Hitler meant what he said because they were tired from World War I and they said, 'Oh, he's just all talk... Well, he was completely crazy... Let's don't do that again.

Senator Graham got this one right despite being a warmonger,Kharg Island is the key to global peace and and stability, as seizing control of this vital oil export base could economically cripple the Iranian regime, cut off funding for its proxy wars and nuclear ambitions, and force a swift end to the conflict without broader invasion,once and for all stopping the terror regime from holding the Straits of H hostage to their unpredictable violent political whims.

The Iranians are showing that they are the Boss at present!

Trump is stumped/stymied by the Hormuz Straights situation!

Since it seems that Iran is using oil as a weapon by controlling the strait, but not closing it, I don't see that they would let the US keep the island if they got it. Iran supplies about 12% of the world's oil, and losing it would put a strain on the world economy, the island is only a loading point. Sure, it is how Iran exports 90% of that. If I were Iran, I would say if you dare come and take it, we will blow it up ourselves. I can't see them letting Trump dictate how their oil will be used.

In case this is just a smoke screen, and the troops are there for the other purpose, there is satellite data that shows Iran may have already moved the uranium using several trucks. They may have split it up or are playing a shell game.

Correction -- Iran has 12 % of the worlds oil reserves. It supplies a little less the 5% of the current world supply. about the same as United Arab Emirates and Kuwait.

The world will never forget Trump's treachery by his unprovoked attack on Iran and it's totally predictable outcome that anyone with an ounce of common sense would have seen!

60 years ago American Marines splashed ashore and took some piddly beaches, after a long bombing campaign, to show who was boss!

Remind me, what did that lead to (apart from of course a severe case of recurrent bone spurs in New York) and how did it end?

58,279. US dead.

Estimated 3 million + Vietnamese.

I don't think Trump 🤡 realizes it would be a guerilla war ,snipers ,

road side bombs ,hit and run tactics , but that's OK his son does

not have to go , too tall by 1 " , at least it's not made up like General

Bone Spurs ,but he could do an executive order (he's good at them)

and raise the height of soldiers by the 1" , better make it 3 " he's

still growing.

Kharg Island: Iran’s ‘untouchable’ oil artery?

This video needs updating:

The FRANCE 24 English video : Kharg Island: Iran’s ‘untouchable’ oil artery? was uploaded on March 10, 2026, and its entire premise frames the island as untouchable in past conflicts, with speculation about potential future targeting or control but no actual strikes having occurred yet.

U.S. military strikes on island (while sparing oil infrastructure) took place shortly after,around March 13 thru 14. *Troops are reported to be going toward the vicinity.

Even the pretence it's about liberating the people is plain ridiculous. But there's gullible who still believe it

Mind you, there is one major difference between the Vietnam War and the Iran War: Donald Trump knew how to get out of the Vietnam War!
