With Iran essentially defenseless and disarmed, I predict we will take Kharg Island within a week.

Karg Island next? Military progression from what?

For a defenseless and disarmed adversary that is continuously inflicting retaliatory damage taking an essentially deserted island containing targets of massive inflammatory self inflicted potential strikes would there be any advantage?

Iran has long prepared for this aggression since witnessing what happened to Iraq when it too had US backing in a failed war and was then rendered a lackey state.

It seems to be conveniently forgotten or ignored that the current Iranian regime came about as the result of previous interference in the monetary interests of foreign powers. While the population may not fully appreciate the Islamic overlords there is cultural rememberance of the vicious dictate of the US installed Shah.

Perhaps the devil you have come to know is preferable to the devil foreign desires desire to inflict on you? Again !

Removed a post that claimed another member was an Iranian bot. If you have any actual evidence please forward it to support. If it's just a lame debating tactic, further references like that may find you without posting rights.

I thought it was going to take the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit couple of weeks to move from Japan, so who's going to take it next week?

Oh, hold on... that's right, that new-fangled "modern airpower" is going to do it.

Iran's Economy Would Collapse If It Lost Kharg Island: Energy Analyst

Companies /the USA had a long history of presence on the island before it was seized by the regime during their 1979 push.

Is the USA entitled to get it back/control it.?

Trump asserted that the US had “already destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military capability,” while conceding in the same breath that Tehran could still “send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close range missile” along the waterway.

He pledged that in the meantime, the US would be “bombing the hell out of the shoreline, and continually shooting Iranian Boats and Ships out of the water,” promising to get the strait “OPEN, SAFE, and FREE.”

A question for the intellectually deficient dingbat. If Iran's armed forces are 100% decapitated, why is there an ongoing conflict and why is the Strait still closed? Huh?

In response, Alireza Tangsiri, the navy chief of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said, “The Strait of Hormuz has not yet been militarily closed and is merely under control.”

In a post on X, he hit back against Trump’s comments, saying, “Americans falsely claimed the destruction of Iran’s navy. Then they falsely claimed the escorting of oil tankers. Now they’re even asking others for backup forces.”

Andreas Krieg, a Middle East security expert at King’s College London’s School of Security Studies, told Al Jazeera that Trump’s call for a coalition appeared to mask the absence of a broader plan to address the strait’s closure.

“It doesn’t seem like they had a plan for the Strait of Hormuz to be closed, and it seems like a desperate move in an information campaign to calm markets and that something magical will happen to open the straits short of actually engaging with the Iranian regime,” he said.

Krieg said there was no quick military solution to reopening the strait, as all Iran needed to do was strike occasionally to keep insurers away.

Sending naval vessels without a diplomatic agreement, he said, would only expose “very, very expensive military vessels to very cheap but potentially very effective projectiles”.

If anybody asks themselves why the straight of Hormuz is not under US control yet, they simply have to look as far as the SEC DEF.

Apparently he's a little bit too preoccupied with king crab, rib eye, and lobster tail to be paying attention to this war.

Nice. Another elitist who doesnt think our troops deserve surf and turf. Let them eat MREs

Love them Sunday shows. Especially when the chairman of the GOP foreign affairs comes on and brings the receipts in support of the only POTUS willing to stop 47 years of terror state oppression.

"McCaul praised President Donald Trump’s strategy to target the major Iranian strategic asset during an appearance on “Fox News Sunday.”

“The attack on Kharg Island, which is a crown jewel, 90 percent of the exports out of Iran come from there. It is like a checkmate on the supreme leader,” he said.
