Trump weighing invading several Iranian islands

President Donald Trump is weighing several options for dramatically escalating the war against Iran should his latest push for diplomacy fail.

Officials have developed options for capturing Kharg Island, which handles roughly 90% of Iran’s crude exports, or authorizing a bombing raid aimed at effectively wiping out its oil infrastructure.

The administration has also examined the potential for taking over other strategically placed islands near the strait that might weaken Iran’s ability to threaten tankers trying to traverse the waterway.
