Will snatch Iran’s oil, Trump’s open threat to occupy Kharg Island, will a ground war start?

News India Live, Digital Desk: Amidst the ongoing tension in West Asia, US President Donald Trump has given a statement which has created panic in the entire world. Amidst the ongoing war of words and military standoff with Iran, Trump has now directly talked about occupying Iran’s most important Kharg Island. Trump has made it clear that his eyes are on Iran’s huge oil reserves and America can ‘easily’ take it under its control. “Taking Iran’s oil is my favorite thing”: Trump’s outspoken style. In an interview given to the Financial Times, Donald Trump adopted a very aggressive stance against Iran. He said that America has many military options open to bring Iran to its knees. “Frankly, my favorite thing to do is take Iranian oil,” Trump said simply. He further claimed that capturing Kharg Island is not a difficult task for America. According to Trump, the security system there is very weak and the US Army can take it over very easily. Is the Pentagon preparing for a ground operation in Iran? Not only the rhetoric, but the intelligence reports are also making shocking revelations. According to a CNN report, the US Defense Department (Pentagon) is secretly planning a ground operation against Iran. US officials believe that if diplomatic channels are closed and Iran uses the ‘Strait of Hormuz’ to put pressure on the world, then military intervention will be inevitable. Apart from Kharg Island, options to control small islands like Larak Island and Abu Musa are also being considered in the strategic discussions. Iran bluntly: “Will target important structures.” Iran has also strongly retaliated on this open threat of America. Iran has made it clear that it will not accept any negotiation proposal and if America makes any move, its consequences will be extremely serious. Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Ghalibaf warned that Iran’s military is monitoring the entire situation and if necessary, they will not shy away from destroying the most important structures in the region. At present, countries like Pakistan, Egypt and Türkiye are trying to mediate, but the sword of war is hanging. Why is Kharg Island special? Kharg Island, which Trump wants to conquer, is not an ordinary piece of land, but it is the economic lifeline of Iran. This island, located in the Persian Gulf, is the largest center for Iran’s crude oil exports. Oil Gateway: Most of Iran’s crude oil is brought here through pipelines and then sent to the whole world in large tankers. Economic Backbone: The income from this island is what runs Iran’s defense system and government. Strategic location: It has such deep water facilities that are capable of handling the world’s largest oil tankers. This is why Trump is looking at it like a ‘hen that lays golden eggs’.
