U.S. Treasury Secretary suggests Kharg Island could become American asset after attacks

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bassant made provocative remarks about Iran's Kharg Island, which handles 90% of Iran's oil exports. Referring to last week's attacks on military facilities there, Bassant stated, "We'll see if in the end it becomes an American asset." The comment suggests potential U.S. interest in controlling or seizing Iran's primary oil export terminal following recent military strikes on the island.
