Back in March, there was talk of the U.S. taking control of Kharg Island, where the majority of Iran's oil and gas revenue is generated. Senator Lindsey Graham said the President should take the Island, saying the "war is over" if we do. It increasingly looked like Kharg Island was going to be a target, and now we've apparently struck the Island.

Landing docks were not intentionally targeted. Only would have been struck if Iranians fired something from next to them, according to senior US official who spoke to Fox News. https://t.co/o3OH44uUWy
The U.S. carried out "dozens" of strikes against military targets on Iran's Kharg Island late Monday night and early Tuesday morning, a senior U.S. official told Fox News.
President Donald Trump first floated attacks on the Iranian stronghold last week as his threats over reopening the Strait of Hormuz kicked off.
"U.S. hit dozens of military targets on Kharg Island overnight," the official told Fox on Tuesday.
There have been no reports that the U.S. has deployed troops to strike the island.
Israel reportedly hitting infrastructure in Iran, too.
