Jiang says North Korea can create major regional instability without conquering South Korea by using artillery and Seoul's proximity to the border to coerce payments under threat of attack.
Jiang says seizing Kharg Island might sound attractive because it would cripple Iranian oil exports, but the position would sit within Iranian artillery range and therefore be militarily suicidal.
