Fun fact for everyone: Kharg Island was a popular multiplayer map in the game Battlefield 3. Some members of our military know more about the layout of this Island than you could even imagine.


MORE BACKGROUND ON KHARG ISLAND During the 1979 Iran hostage crisis, U.S. President Jimmy Carter imposed sanctions on Iran but refrained from ordering strikes on the island. His successor, Ronald Reagan, during the 1980s Iran-Iraq Tanker War, prioritised protecting shipping and targeting Iranian vessels and missile batteries, leaving Kharg untouched. "Although Iraqi forces struck some terminals and tankers during the eight-year war, Kharg remained largely operational and damage was typically repaired quickly, demonstrating that disabling it would require sustained, large-scale attacks," JP Morgan said in a note reported by Reuters on March 9.
