Just 4 hours before this announcement, Cappy posted a video explaining that special forces may be planning to put some "boots on the ground" to take over that island: https://youtube.com/watch?v=5u8yCP5WQVw

Whether that's correct or it's just a bombing campaign, his description of the island, its importance for oil exports, its layout and defenses is interesting.

The Iranians may lose the capability to export oil by losing their island which is main port of export for Iranian oil
