Why Kharg Island is central to Trump's escalating Iran threats

President Trump announced on Truth Social that the United States will eventually take Kharg Island and other oil infrastructure points. Kharg Island is Iran's primary oil export hub, handling approximately 90% of its crude exports. While seizing the island could severely choke Iranian revenue, Trump later suggested that Americans might lack the stomach for such an invasion. This potential escalation remains a high-value target in the ongoing conflict to pressure Iran into accepting specific terms.
