I’ve heard they have an island with their oil refineries on it. Also heard suggestions they might go after their electrical/energy grid

You realize that Israel has infrastructure that can be taken out too. Take out Iran’s energy infrastructure and Iran will take out Israel’s Tamar and Leviathan gas fields and then close the Straits of Hormuz sending Western economies into a tail spin.

Karg Island.

Easily the most defended spot in Iran, and yet its most vulnerable.

It is an island that has their major pipeline terminals. They can load 14 tankers at as time. If that facility were to be shut down, it would cut about 4% of the world’s supply…and a larger percent of China’s crude supply. That would have an impact on world markets and trade.

There are better places to hit.
