[Media: White House Considers Seizing Kharg Island as 'Final' Option] According to a report by Jinse Finance on June 11, citing White House sources, the U.S. military has been planning the seizure of Kharg Island for several months, but the plan has been repeatedly postponed due to the high risks involved. The prevailing view within the White House and the Pentagon is that seizing Kharg Island or destroying its energy infrastructure would effectively bankrupt Iran, weakening its capabilities and rendering it unable to continue the war. However, officials have also conveyed to President Donald Trump that such an operation could require a significant number of ground troops and might result in substantial U.S. military casualties. Based on these calculations, the Pentagon and the White House have considered seizing Kharg Island as a 'final' option—an ultimate measure that could shift the balance of the war but would come at a high cost.
