Donald Trump is pushing a controversial idea which is taking control of Iran’s Kharg Island, the country’s most critical oil export hub, as tensions between the US, Israel, and Iran continue to escalate.

In the midst of this, Pakistan has stepped forward, offering to host “meaningful talks” between Washington and Tehran, a diplomatic opening that comes even as the threat of further escalation looms.

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Associate Professor Jessica Genauer, Academic Director of the Public Policy Institute at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), on why Kharg Island is central to Iran’s oil exports, whether the US could realistically seize and hold it, and how such a move could impact Iran’s war effort and global oil prices.
