I don't think many have been listening to the experts on what a disaster Kharg would be. We could take it but would lose many trying to hold it. They would not have any air defense and drones/rockets could be fired from deep within Iran and mountains. And if we managed all that, Iran can still turn it off as you said. Also, SoH would still be closed. Why would we think Iran would allow us to sell their oil? That's crazy. And if they can't have it, they certainly won't let anyone else have it. They'll destroy fields there after taking out surrounding GCC fields that would destroy world's economy for decades.

There is NO military solution for this. They just have to live and survive to win. It's a war of attrition.
