Although it\u2019s a relatively small island, the offshore terminal handles up to 90% of the country\u2019s crude oil exports.<\/p>\n<p>The second part would focus on invading Larak, an island strategically located close to the Strait of Hormuz, which allows Iran to solidify its control of the region.<\/p>\n<p>Next, the US would want to seize control of Abu Musa and two smaller islands, which \u201clie near the western entrance to the Strait of Hormuz and are controlled by Iran but also claimed by the UAE.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The final step would block or seize ships exporting Iranian oil on the eastern side of the Strait of Hormuz. According to the report, these steps could create \u201cmore leverage\u201d for Trump during the reported negotiations going on now.<\/p>\n<p>The most recent Trump statements on the negotiations matter came out less than an hour ago, and the POTUS urged Iran\u2019s officials to \u201cget serious soon, before it is too late.\u201d Additionally, he noted that Iranian negotiators are \u201cvery different and strange,\u201d but <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DeItaone\/status\/2037117978978726316\" target=\"_blank\">asserted<\/a> that they are \u201cbegging\u201d the US to make a deal.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"you-may-also-like\" class=\"heading-4\">You may also like:<\/h3>\n<p>Bitcoin\u2019s price has fallen by $3,000 in a day after it was rejected at $72,000 yesterday.
