Donald Trump Considering seizing the oil hub on Iran's Khalk Island
Svmuu News: According to Axios, Donald Trump is seeking to form a multinational coalition to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and plans to make an announcement later this week.Four sources revealed that if the obstruction of oil tanker traffic in the Persian Gulf persists, Donald Trump is also considering seizing the Iranian island of Kharg, a key oil transshipment hub—a move that would require the intervention of U.S. ground forces. Iran is currently blocking oil exports from Gulf nations while allowing tankers loaded with Iranian crude to pass freely. Donald Trump said on Truth Social on Saturday that the U.S. and several other countries would send warships to the Persian Gulf, and called on China, France, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom to participate.On Sunday, while aboard Air Force One, he stated that the U.S. is negotiating with seven countries, some of which have already refused to participate. The White House has dubbed the plan the “Hormuz Alliance.” While no country has publicly committed to joining yet, senior officials expect announcements of support this week. Donald Trump On Sunday, he spoke with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to discuss the plan and warned NATO allies that a lack of response would have negative implications for the alliance’s future. Regarding Khalk Island, located about 15 miles off the Iranian coast, it handles approximately 90% of Iran’s crude oil exports.Donald Trump On Friday, he ordered strikes on military facilities on the island, but spared the oil facilities. U.S. officials say seizing the island would deal an economic blow to the Iranian regime, but could also trigger retaliatory attacks by Iran on oil facilities in Gulf nations.
