Trump says he is considering seizing Iran's Kharg Island, but deal could be made 'very quickly' - BBC
Overview
The president publicly said he is considering seizing Kharg Island and suggested a deal could be reached quickly, following briefings about troop readiness for ground operations. New reporting highlights expert warnings that a seizure would risk U.S. lives and might not resolve the conflict, and notes Iran has allowed some ships to transit the Strait of Hormuz. The combination of public threats and troop-readiness briefings complicates diplomatic options and may prompt Iran to further harden defenses around energy infrastructure.
