The U.S. should consider seizing Kharkh Island, the heart of Iran's oil production, to cut off funding for its terrorist regime. With 90% of Iran's oil flowing through this unprotected island, controlling it could shift the balance of power and deprive Iran of crucial revenue. This strategy could also benefit American companies and disrupt European reliance on Iranian oil.
