Why hasn’t the U.S. seized Kharg Island?

Yeah, but we could build up stockpiles of Oil for the operation and unleash it just on time to seize the island and let iran completely close the strait and then unleash it and keep the price low until Iran's eonomy completely collapses.

I believe the island serves as a terminal, fed by pipelines. I believe the source of the oil is far away on the mainland, and that end of pipelines can be easily shut off.

@PDXNative1986 And, in response, Iran is threatening to bomb major gulf oil terminals; sort of a nuclear option for oil. BTW, Iran's cluster munitions are getting thru Israel's "iron dome."

Two irrational actors threatening 20% of the world's oil supply; what could go wrong???

@PDXNative1986 Interesting tidbit from google's AI regarding barrels of oil equivalent per day from renewables.

Total Renewable Energy: Renewables account for roughly 9% of total U.S. primary energy production, which in early 2024 terms roughly translates to over 4 million BOE/d, with biofuels alone contributing around 1.4 million barrels per day (BPD).

Context of Total Consumption: This 4 million BOE/d of renewables sits against a total U.S. petroleum consumption of over 20 million barrels per day.

tRump has been blocking wind farms & solar; I'm not sure how many BOE/d the blocked projects would otherwise be producing, but we need every kWh.
