The U.S. has struck several military targets on Kharg Island, which sits around 25 kilometers (15 miles) from the Iranian coast in the Persian Gulf, in mid-March. So far, the U.S. has refrained from hitting the energy infrastructure. Reports have been circulating since then, claiming that Washington could launch a ground operation to take control of the key oil hub in an attempt to cripple Tehran’s economy after three weeks from the start of the US-Israeli war with the Islamic Republic, accoridng to a report by The New York Times.  Kharg Island is responsible for 90% of Iran’s crude oil exports.
