Kharg Island, Iran's primary oil export terminal handling nearly 90% of its crude shipments in the Persian Gulf, remains firmly under Iranian armed forces control as of early April 2026, despite a US airstrike on March 13 that degraded military infrastructure while sparing energy facilities. President Trump's repeated threats to seize the island aim to compel Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz amid ongoing blockade tensions, prompting Iran to bolster defenses with additional troops, air systems, and traps since late March. Iranian state media footage confirms operational continuity and security, with tankers still loading crude. Traders assess risks of US ground escalation against defensive challenges and diplomatic uncertainties.
