Trump’s Bold Raid on Kharg Island: A Game-Changer in the US-Iran Conflict?

As the US-Israel-Iran war enters its tenth day, President Trump has reportedly ordered Special Forces to seize Kharg Island—a hub for 90% of Iran’s oil exports. This plan aims to capture the island intact rather than bomb it. By securing Kharg, the US could cut off the IRGC’s main revenue source and establish a valuable refueling base in the Gulf. The move follows Israel’s leveling of five oil depots in Tehran, which triggered toxic black rain over the city. Washington supports pressure on Iran but fears a global oil-price surge. Experts warn losing Kharg could drive Brent crude prices up by $10–$15 per barrel, intensifying economic shocks worldwide.
