Problem here will be the USMC could invade and secure Kharg Island in about half an hour, stopping for a snack break halfway through, without even breaking a sweat.
But then Iran has thousands of drones that they’ll just keep flying into it for as long as the US occupies it, a stalemate that could go on for years.

Are those paratroopers going to secure Kharg or do something else?

With how everything else has gone with this administration where they joke and prod constantly, only to go for it in the end, my money’s on theyre going to invade something, most likely the island.
Of course he’ll call it something weasley to avoid calling it a war, only for his cabinet to refer to it as one

Dear EU leaders,
You have the opportunity to stop this bullshit right this second. All you would need to do is make a very loud announcement that the EU is going to start dumping US Treasury Securities. The EU has trillions of dollars tied up in US Treasury Securities and if the EU started dumping them, then immediately all this bullshit would end. The US dollar would immediately start to collapse and it would force the US to withdraw from its illegal war in Iran. Yes there would be pain felt in the markets but more importantly US imperialism would finally end. The US had the most powerful military yes, but what good is that if you can’t pay them?
As an American it pains me to say this but the US is done. We have completely destroyed the trust the world places with us and it’s time for someone else to lead.

If it’s Kharg island at least they still maintain the highly important element of surprise, because I haven’t told anyone.

Paratroopers, seals, and other special ops to go behind enemy lines, secure sites. Marines to go in and handle island defenses.
Reality: cannon fodder, mass casualties, exploding seamines, increased resistance.
I don’t doubt the US will take the Kharg Island, but it will be at a very high cost, especially with Iran literally a few km from the Island, unless they also plan on taking Coastal Iran, also a nightmare waiting to happen.
Iran isn’t Iraq or Afghanistan. They’ve been planning this for years.

For gulf 1 and 2, the US and its coalition that it spent several years forming did this buildup nearly a year in advance. With demands, deadlines, etc. When they weren’t met, an enormous highly coordinated strike was made by all parties involved.
The US is no stranger to such things, but the total brain dead way this was all run is incomprehensible. The US is now being reactive, not on the sharp end of initiative. Their government has lost the capability to be on the sharp end of initiative entirely.
This is going to put US lives at serious risk, as it already has. Another middle eastern shit war for no gain. More boxes coming home to devestated parents.

Er redet zwar von der Insel Kharg (Ablenkung) aber der Fokus wird auf zwei anderen Inseln näher an der Meerenge von Hormus sein. Durch diese 2 anderen Inseln werden die freundlichen und zahlenden Container durchgelotst. Das ist eher spannend um die Meerenge zu sichern auch wenn er wie immer blöde davon quatscht das er das Öl gerne hätte…

The connection to Iran is impossible to ignore.
But can anyone help contextualize how significant this is? As in, what percent is this compared to our existing presence in the Middle East.
Or how many people get shipped back and forth in the regular basis?
For all I know 2,500 being sent to the Middle East is standard operating procedures.
EDIT: NYT answers my question. Presence of 50,000 is about 10,000 more than the regularly stationed 40,000. 25% more than in previous years.
Please tell me their planning an airborne drop onto a premarked island were enemy knows exactly what you’re doing and when your coming…
Even in modern warfare airborne troops are not used for assault their a commando force you use them in places the enemy isn’t expecting you… Or drop troops into hard reach places….

It’s a trap. I bet they put up little to no resistance and let them take Kharg island; then they’ll keep firing at the island like fish in a barrel. I feel really bad for the troops

An invasion of Kharg is suicidal. Capturing Kharg won’t open the strait and reinforcing the island means going through the Strait of Hormuz and putting US forces on a tiny island in range of all of Iran’s missiles is just asking for disaster. Invading Iran itself requires hundreds of thousands of troops, none of which are in the theater right now, so I sincerely hope the troops that are present in the theater are there as bargaining chips.

The 1991 Iraq invasion had about 1 million coalition troops, with about 650000 came from the US. The 2003 invasion of Iraq had about 250000 troops with about 170000 US troops. There were about 110000 US troops deployed into Afghanistan with another 30000 NATO soldiers.
It looks like we have about 55000 soldiers that will invade Iran. We have no allies (Israel is busy with Gaza and Lebanon) and our supply lines are going to be long as Europe wants nothing to do with thus conflict.
I’m not a military person but I have read history books about wars and have stayed at a holiday inn express. But this does not seem well thought out.

Can’t wait to see the footage of soldiers being blown apart by drones like in Ukraine.
Our people are not ready for the new form of warfare.
