Trump considering ground invasion of critical Iranian island: reports
Donald Trump is considering using ground troops to occupy Iran's strategically valuable Kharg Island, according to reports.
Axios cited four sources as saying the Trump Administration was considering a blockade of the island or even landing troops there.
A ground invasion, even of a small island off the coast of mainland Iran, would be seen as a major escalation of the war.

When questioned about this outside the White House, Trump was coy.
"I may have a plan, I may not," he said.
"It's certainly a place that people are talking about. But I can't tell you that."
The island had been untouched by the war until last Saturday, when it was targeted by a US airstrike.
