HOW A US ASSAULT ON KHARG ISLAND COULD UNFOLD
“Any operation to seize Kharg Island would be economic warfare—you are fighting in a completely different and more complex space.”
As the U.S. weighs next steps in the conflict with Iran, the Financial Times examined how a potential operation targeting Kharg Island—the country’s primary oil export hub—could reshape both the battlefield and global energy markets.
Global Guardian Vice President of Client Risk Management Seth Krummrich noted that targeting critical energy infrastructure would extend beyond traditional military objectives into economic disruption, with ripple effects across global markets and regional stability.
