President Trump needs leverage, and where he's finding that leverage is Kharg island, which is responsible for 96% of Iran's oil exports. And right now, President Trump isn't bombing Iran's oil facilities on the island, but he did take out the military targets.

I have chosen not to wipe out the oil infrastructure on the island. However, should Iran or anyone else do anything to interfere with the free and safe passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz, I will immediately reconsider this decision.

It boosts homebuilding, provides more financial support for housing and limits big investors from buying single family homes.
