If Kharg Island is captured, ground forces will be required to hold it

The New York Times quoted US military officials as saying that President Donald Trump’s aides have prepared plans to return to military strikes on Iran if he decides to break the stalemate with more bombing.

The officials added that special forces may be used in an attempt to control Kharg Island, and if Kharg Island is controlled, ground forces will be required to retain it.

They explained that among the options is sending special forces into Iran to target buried nuclear materials, and they indicated that achieving a decisive victory over Iran may be a difficult task.
