Why Kharg Island is a lifeline for Iran

Kharg Island is a small rocky outcrop just 15 miles (24km) off the coast of Iran – but despite its size, it is one of the most critical pieces of Iran’s energy infrastructure.

Security analyst Mikey Kay breaks down why Kharg Island is a lifeline for Iran, and why it is so strategically important for the US.
