Trump is reportedly considering strikes on Iran's strategic Kharg Island oil hub to pressure Tehran over its nuclear programme and the Strait of Hormuz, although the claims remain unconfirmed.
About Kharg Island:
It is a small coral island in Iran located in the northern Persian Gulf.
It is one of relatively few Persian Gulf islands with natural freshwater resources, making it suitable for settlement by small populations.
The island experiences hot and humid summers, and its highest point, Mount Didehban, stands at 87 meters above sea level.
It facilitates as much as 90 percent of the country’s oil exports and is vital for Iran’s economy.
Its strategic significance lies in its proximity to the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial global oil passage.
