Trump is considering deploying ground troops to seize Iran's Kish Island

BlockBeats News, March 16th, according to Axios, President Trump is considering sending ground troops to seize Iran's Kharg Island. The decision is said to hinge on whether tankers remain stalled in the Persian Gulf.

Trump is reportedly working to form a coalition of nations to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and hopes to announce the news later this week. So far, no country has publicly committed to joining Trump's alliance to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Earlier reports indicated that Kharg Island accounts for 90% of Iran's oil production.
