According to a report by the channel حامیان پزشکیان, which is identified with support for Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and presents a line supporting the Iranian establishment, officials in the U.S. security establishment are considering the possibility of using special forces to seize the strategic Iranian island of Kharg.

The news, which the channel attributes to The New York Times newspaper, indicates that according to Hamian Pezeshkian, there is a chance of a proactive U.S. military move in the area of the island, which is a major hub for Iranian oil exports.

Kharg Island is considered a critical strategic asset for the Iranian economy, and any move of this kind, if implemented, would mark a significant escalation in tensions between Tehran and Washington. The reporting channel focuses on a narrative that emphasizes "external threats" to Iran, while using information allegedly attributed to Western media outlets to illustrate the severity of the situation.
