Conspicuously, Kharg hasn't been targeted by Israel or the US yet because it's the spigot for oil and gas for south Asia and the Far East which arguably is the most vulnerable oil and gas market. Note how the surges in oil price occur when the Asian markets open. Send in the Marines to protect it, keep the oil flowing, preserve market calm and keep important allies, and China, onside. It falls easily to superior US military prowess, whereupon the mad mullahs, hiding "like rats" redirect their missiles to target Kharg Island, blowing up the spigot, causing a serious and sustained global oil price surge, including the US, turning Chinese abstention at the UN Security Council into objection, and killing a few of the US's "boots on the ground". All the above while touting the miracles of "modern airpower" and air superiority. Winning. Queue the inevitable and witless "So you support Iran...got it" response from the forum's dullards.
