The island handles the vast majority of Iran’s crude exports and sits near the Strait of Hormuz, whose closure by Iranian forces triggered the current conflict. Iran has reinforced air defenses and deployed additional personnel in response. Recent reports indicate US consideration of a ground operation involving Marines, though strikes have avoided oil facilities and some planned actions were paused amid reported diplomatic progress with Tehran. Any escalation, successful amphibious seizure, or negotiated reopening of the strait could alter control dynamics before resolution dates.
