The US is preparing a “final strike” against Iran: seizing islands and large-scale airstrikes are being considered.
The Pentagon is considering scenarios for a large-scale military operation against Iran, which the Donald Trump administration is calling a “final strike,” Axios reported, citing sources. According to the publication, the deployment of forces has already begun, but a final decision on whether to launch the operation has not yet been made.
Possible options include seizing or blockading Kharg Island, a key hub for Iranian oil exports, and establishing control over Larak Island, strategically important for controlling the Strait of Hormuz. An operation to seize Abu Musa Island and adjacent territories, which play a vital role in ensuring shipping in the region, is also being discussed.
Additionally, the list of scenarios includes blocking or intercepting Iranian oil tankers, as well as large-scale airstrikes against the country's nuclear and energy infrastructure. The most radical option involves conducting a ground operation on Iranian territory to establish control over nuclear materials.
