According to Israel's Jerusalem Post disclosed on the 23rd, U.S. senior officials recently briefed Israel and other countries that the U.S. side "may have no choice" but to launch ground military operations against Iran's Kharg Island. The report cited two sources as saying that the U.S. military is accelerating the deployment of thousands of Marines and naval personnel to the Middle East region. This deployment includes the USS Boxer amphibious assault ship, the USS Portland amphibious transport dock, and the USS Comstock dock landing ship, carrying approximately 4,500 Marines and other combat personnel. U.S. President Trump threatened on the 15th that the United States is ready to launch new strikes against Kharg Island and may further take action against Iran's oil infrastructure. According to Iran's Tasnim News Agency report on the 21st, citing Iranian military sources, if the United States launches a "military invasion" against Kharg Island, it will inevitably face "an unprecedented counterattack" since the U.S.-Israel attacks on Iran.

According to Israel’s “Jerusalem Post” on the 23rd, senior U.S. officials recently informed Israel and other countries that the U.S. “may have no choice” but to launch a ground military operation against Iran’s Halek Island. The report cited two sources familiar with the matter, stating that the U.S. military is accelerating the deployment of thousands of Marines and naval personnel to the Middle East. This deployment includes the amphibious assault ship USS Boxer, the amphibious transport dock USS Portland, and the dock landing ship USS Anchorage, carrying approximately 4,500 Marines and other combat personnel. President Trump on the 15th threatened that the U.S. is ready to launch a new strike against Halek Island and may take further action against Iran’s oil infrastructure. According to Iran’s Tasnim News Agency on the 21st, citing Iranian military sources, if the U.S. launches a “military invasion” of Halek Island, it will face an “unprecedented counterattack” from Iran in response to U.S.-Israeli attacks. Halek Island is located in the northwest of the Persian Gulf, about 25 kilometers from the Iranian coast, measuring approximately 6 kilometers long and 3 kilometers wide. It is Iran’s largest crude oil export base, with 90% of Iran’s oil exports coming from here. (Xinhua)
