Why Invading and Occupying Kharg Island Is a Stupid Idea Kharg Island isn’t a place you can just storm, plant a flag, and hold. It’s a tiny coral outcrop, roughly 8 km long and 5–6 km wide, with a total area of only about 25 km², sitting just 25 km off the Iranian coast and 45-50 km from the Zagros Mountains. That extreme closeness turns it into a nightmare.
