    Here’s the original article from Axios instead of a propaganda outlet.*

    The Trump administration is considering plans to occupy or blockade Iran’s Kharg Island to pressure Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, four sources with knowledge of the issue tell Axios.

    “He wants Hormuz open. If he has to take Kharg Island to make it happen, that’s going to happen. If he decides to have a coastal invasion, that’s going to happen. But that decision hasn’t been made,” a senior administration official told Axios.

    The propaganda outlet takes this and, in the headline, subtly twists it into something he’s already decided to do, which for some reason sprinkles extra alarmism onto an already extremely alarming report.


    * Context for how drastically that article spins the protests in Iran.
