TL;DR

Trump is pursuing a multinational 'Hormuz Coalition' to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and is weighing the seizure of Iran's Kharg Island oil terminal, a move that would require boots on the ground if Iran's blockade persists. As oil prices rise and Iran's exports are constrained, the administration seeks political commitment from allies (some nations have declined) and outlines potential contributions like warships and drones; Kharg handles roughly 90% of Iran's crude exports, making it a pivotal target.
