Trump’s Kharg Island Raid Plan: A Potential Game-Changer in the Iran Conflict?

As the US-Israel-Iran war enters Day 10, reports suggest President Trump has chosen a Special Forces raid over a missile strike on Kharg Island. This facility handles 90% of Iran’s oil exports. Seizing Kharg Island could cut off the IRGC’s main funding source without triggering an environmental catastrophe. It would also give the US a strategic refuelling base in the Gulf. The move follows Israel’s recent strike on Tehran’s oil depots, which caused toxic black rain. Experts warn that taking Kharg offline could drive Brent crude prices up by $10–$15 per barrel.
