Iran has been preparing for a possible US ground invasion of Kharg Island. Reports said Tehran has reinforced the island with layered air defences, deployed MANPADS, and laid extensive minefields along potential landing zones, turning Kharg into a heavily fortified target. US officials warn that any invasion could result in significant casualties and may fail to resolve the broader energy crisis. With troops mobilizing, surveillance intensifying, and both sides digging in, Kharg Island is fast becoming the next flashpoint in an already explosive conflict.
