Iran building up defenses of Kharg Island to protect against potential US ground attack, sources say - CNN
Overview
U.S. intelligence indicates Iran has fortified Kharg Island with traps, additional personnel, and air defenses in preparation for a possible seizure. The assessment that Iran still retains substantial missile launchers and thousands of drones reinforces why Tehran is hardening key facilities: retaining strike assets increases the difficulty and risk of any operation and raises escalation concerns for U.S. planners.
