Trump considers seizing Iranian island to end blockade of key oil route

The Trump administration is reportedly considering a plan to seize Iran's Kharg Island. The goal would be to force Iran to end its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical passage for global oil shipments.

Trump has also signaled he wants to 'wind down' U.S. military involvement related to Iran. He criticized NATO allies, calling them 'cowards' for not helping secure the strait, and stated the U.S. would not act as its guardian.
