Will President Donald Trump send the US troops to capture the Iranian oil reserves at Kharg Island if the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz continues? However, Washington continued to attack the Iranian targets, including those on the shores of the Persian Gulf and Kharg Island. Iranian offshore oil fields of the Faridun, Darius, Cyrus, and Ardašir fields are located near Kharg Island. The National Iranian Oil Company, under the regime of Muhammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, developed Khar Island as an oil terminal in a partnership with the US oil company Amoco. They were the Kharg Terminal and its long T-shaped jetty on the east coast, Sea Island Terminal off the west coast; and the Darius Terminal in the south.
