# Media reports say the U.S. is considering ground actions to seize Iran's Khark Island

According to the Israeli Jerusalem Post, on the 23rd, senior U.S. officials recently informed Israel and other countries that the U.S. "may have no choice" but to launch a ground military operation against Iran's Khark Island.

The report cites two informed sources stating that the U.S. military is accelerating the deployment of thousands of Marines and Navy personnel to the Middle East. This deployment includes the USS Boxer amphibious assault ship, the USS Portland amphibious dock landing ship, and the USS Comstock dock landing ship, carrying approximately 4,500 Marines and other combat personnel.

U.S. President Trump threatened on the 15th that the U.S. is prepared to launch new strikes against Khark Island and may take further action against Iran's oil infrastructure.

According to a report by Iran's Tasnim News Agency on the 21st, citing Iranian military sources, if the U.S. launches "military aggression" against Khark Island, it will face an "unprecedented counterattack" since the U.S. and Israel began their attacks on Iran.

Khark Island is located in the northwestern part of the Persian Gulf, about 25 kilometers from the Iranian coast, approximately 6 kilometers long and 3 kilometers wide, and is Iran's largest crude oil export base, with 90% of Iran's crude oil exported from here.
