The U.S. carried out "dozens" of strikes against military targets on Iran's Kharg Island late Monday night and early Tuesday morning, a senior U.S. official told Fox News.

President Donald Trump first floated attacks on the Iranian stronghold last week as his threats over reopening the Strait of Hormuz kicked off.

"U.S. hit dozens of military targets on Kharg Island overnight,” the official told Fox on Tuesday.

There have been no reports that the U.S. has deployed troops to strike the island.

Coordinates 29°14′42″N 50°18′36″E
Area 20 km2 (7.7 sq mi)
Highest elevation 70 m (230 ft)

7.7 sq miles , not that big as islands go.

Think Greenland, but much, much smaller.

(I thought we already bombed Kharg’s military targets days or weeks ago?)

how could they be so dumb as to put 80% of their oil exports on an island?

We should take over the island AND THE OIL and dole it out only to a new government group WE DESIGNATE in the south of Iran.

Makes sense....Iran isn’t going to destroy the Island that feeds them.

Example:

The main island of Key West is about 3.5 to 4 miles long and roughly 1 mile wide at its widest part.

This is why there is a small carrier in the strait with a brigade of marines on board.
