The US news website Axios reported, citing sources, that the US Pentagon is developing a "last strike" military plan against Iran, which may include deploying ground troops and conducting large-scale bombing operations. The plan includes invading or blockading Iran's main oil export hub, Kharg Island; invading Larak Island, which helps consolidate control of the Strait of Hormuz, where outpost bases could hide attack boats for destroying cargo ships and radars for monitoring the strait's dynamics; capturing the strategic Abu Musa Island and two smaller islands near the western entrance of the strait, currently controlled by Iran but also claimed by the UAE. The plan also mentions intercepting or seizing vessels transporting Iranian oil on the eastern side of the Strait of Hormuz. The report indicates that the US military is also drafting plans for ground operations deep within Iran, aimed at seizing highly enriched uranium buried within nuclear facilities. The US may also opt for large-scale airstrikes on these facilities to completely prevent Iran from obtaining the material. The report states that US President Donald Trump has not yet made any decisions regarding these plans, and White House officials describe any potential ground actions as "hypothetical." However, sources suggest that if negotiations with Iran do not yield substantial results in the short term, Trump is prepared to escalate actions, potentially first fulfilling his threat to bomb Iranian power plants and energy facilities. Iran has already threatened to conduct large-scale retaliation in the Persian Gulf region. (fc/w) Auto-translated by third-party software This translation was auto-generated by third-party software.
