US WEIGHS KHARG ISLAND OPTION AS ENDGAME SCENARIO
US officials have considered capturing Kharg Island or destroying its energy infrastructure as a potential “endgame” option against Iran, according to CNN. The plan, seen as highly risky and previously shelved, is believed to target Iran’s economic lifeline but would likely require ground troops and risk heavy US casualties. For now, Washington has focused on airstrikes while avoiding direct hits on the island’s key energy facilities.
