Frank McKenzie, former head of US Central Command, said on CBS’s Face the Nation that the United States should consider seizing Iran’s Kharg Island. The small island handles about 90% of Iran’s oil exports. McKenzie argued that controlling it would give the US strong leverage in negotiations by directly threatening the Iranian regime’s main source of revenue. This comes amid rising tensions, recent strikes, and disputes over the Strait of Hormuz.
