Trump threatens to seize or destroy Iran's Kharg Island

President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to take or destroy Iran's Kharg Island, a major oil terminal. He has said the U.S. could take it 'very easily' and that his 'favorite thing is to take the oil,' with reports noting the deployment of the 82nd Airborne Division.

Military experts, however, warn that seizing the island would risk U.S. troops' lives and might not end a conflict with Iran. The threats are framed as pressure to force Iran into a deal.
