I don't get why it's amateur hour in the White House. Everything is going well for Team USAS except the most important part: Cutting off Iran's money supply

The fact USA is still allowing Iran to run tankers through the Hormuz Strait, while everyone else in the neighborhood is stuck holding their own dick, is abolutely insane.

On top of that Iran started charging 3rd parties to cough up money to pass through Hormuz Strait. So not only is Hormuz blocked for everyone else, Iran also turned it into the Ayatollah Khamenei Memorial Tollbooth!

The number #1 goal of this war should be to cut off Iran's finances and stop IRGC from making payroll, and USA refuses to pick up this lowest of lowest hanging fruit right off the ground.

They just need to send marines into the Indian Ocean and start seizing tankers transporting Iranian oil, and Tehran will not be able to do anything but surrender. Trump did it with Venezula and Cuba, why is he not doing it for Iran? (Because 90% of this oil goes to China?)
>>
>>65000824
Marines take over the island largely unopposed with a high concentration of close air support.
>>65000835
The island is where 95% of Iran's oil gets shipped out of the country apparently. And as the other anons said, it's a bargaining chip for future negotiations.
>>
>>65000855
You can add
>removing sanctions on 140 million barrels of Iranian oil to sell to China
to that list as well

>>65000856
If I was Iran, I would booby trap the entire island and pull out when the marines show up. Then I will send drones into this barren island and teach jarhead how to eat sand. The entire island is exposed and people will get PTSD when the sky starts talking in Shahed.

Its becoming more and more obvious that they did not forsee this taking more than a few days and only give a temp rise in oil prices. We are coming up on a month of conflict with major impacts on the oil flowing out, and starting to see some of the long-term secondary and tertiary effects popping up.

Some anons will probably scream that "the US does not need oil from ME" (even tho they import around 200 mill barrels per year from the gulf), which is true, but at the end of the day it will impact pump prices in the US.

Ive personally been enjoing the spike and offloaded a few stocks that went 30-40% in two weeks, but 100-120 DPB is not sustainable

They would need to contest the airspace more to bring those out.
>>
>>65000912
you dont need much for drone operators. random civvie huts to hide in is enough for them to hide in and launch them out. Unless airforce has ways to spot the fiber optic cables from air and then follow them to their source. Even then you can counter that with proxy launch sites remote operated from the next hut over

Ukraine also claims to have achieved distance of 150 kilometers from starting point. Although these are extreme edge cases and all extra spool comes at the cost of less explosives carried along

Trump himself has said this.
But this fails to understand US geostrategic policy.
The US is in the Middle East to C O N T R O L the oil, who it goes to, cut it off from them, and maintain a steady supply to maintain global finance - look at the chaos as 20% of the global supply is now cut. Plus profits for US corporations too.
Even if you produce all your own oil and dont import the supply has gone down while demand remains the same meaning price goes up even in the US.
A typical failure of Trump and his reactionary base. They do not understand, they do not want to understand, understanding is seen as suspicious.

>>65000909
Russia and Ukraine can fly drones because the air space is not in control of either side. If Iran starts flying drones, fine, but the USA will find out where the operators are and drop stuff on them. In Ukraine, you find operators either by luck, recon or because China told Russia where the operators are. The only way to deal with them is either hoping you got artillery in range or fly your own drone and hope that deals with it. The USA has plenty of munitions to drop on a house holding a drone operator.

>>65000915
Fibre optic drones are limited by range, especially when you're attacking an island. There would be a limited amount of launch locations and, again, they work in Ukraine because there is very little air assets active. If you can sit in a 'civvie hut' as you say for days on end because the side can't hit you, that's different when facing a side that can hit you and has the intel assets to check all possibly launch locations (because, again, fibre optic drones have a limited range and you're attacking an island, so even smaller potential launch sites).

That makes no fucking sense though. You don't have to physically hold the island to render it worthless for shipping. And the whole problem here is THAT APPLIES TO BOTH SIDES. Our military has zero ability to keep it protected from Iran same as Iran can't keep it protected from us. It's too fucking close, just 20 miles from mainland Iran, fucking anything can wail away at it and terminals are all super vulnerable. If Iran concludes it's now worthless to them they have no reason not to just blast away at it and the MEU that will now be sitting ducks there. They can render the airport inoperable trivially. The navy has been refusing to even convoy ships, now they'll be in charge of supporting logistics for a unit sitting on this little island. The whole thing is just spazzing out because there was absolutely no plan.

>American air force unable to provide sustained suppression the whole length of the coast line and island defences (Watch Iranian troops take shelter in and around the gas facilities Trump has explicitly ordered to not be damaged).
>MEU, under fire on the beaches, with no decent armor support, gets bogged down in urban fighting in the densely packed island with 150,000 civilians running around for cover caught in the crossfire.
>mass civilian casualties from the fighting, international condemnation and disavowal over these civilian losses further isolating the USA. Americans won't care about dead Iranians, but already plummeting domestic support craters when Iranians release reels of FPV drone footage slamming into marines.
>MEU, unable to sustain its losses and be resupplied, bugs out in an operation that makes the assault on Koh Tang seem organized.

I really don't understand why everybody is talking about Kharg Island. I think any American who is seriously talking in favor of this scenario has never looked at the relevant maps. It's like some retarded version of the Gallipoli invasion putting the cart before the horse. First you seize the straits, then you seize the island several hundred kilometers past the straits, you imbeciles.

Not much on Kharg.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Musa
This one is more likely.

There's a couple Iranian controlled tiny islands not recognized as Iranian territory, so it makes perfectly sense to control them. Almost no people live there, so not much chance for an insurgency, and it's useful for the Iranians if they want to keep Hormuz closed.

Kharg only makes sense as a bargaining tool, to give back to Iran. Trump's ego won't allow that. And oil shipment through Kharg can be stopped, without controlling it anyway. It really makes no sense to take it.

The idea as I understand it is to ease pressure on the global oil market by allowing as much out of the Persian Gulf as possible.

Khe Sanh II The Sand Boogaloo and Drone Rodeo.

I think America + NATO can take the coastal plains relatively easy, but going inland will be very hard. And taking the hormuz coast side is meaningless as long as iran can bomb gulf arab oil transfer stations and the tankers moored there. So inland it has to be.

hell, khe sanh might even be too late a war comparison to make here. it's more like the very start where marines were just stuck in da nang sitting there getting shelled because they couldn't go off and patrol to seek out the mortar crews shooting at them. ive got little doubt that the military operations can succeed going inland, securing the coast, or whatever the choice is, the problem is that there's always going to be someone just out of reach shooting at the newly secured areas. just a constant cycle of 'well we took X, but now we need Y to protect X, and we'll need Z to protect Y...'

The post you're replying to explains why that's fucking stupid anon. Holding it is meaningless, you can threaten to destroy it and then agree not to in exchange for opening of Hormuz. And if you're not willing to do that then the whole idea is dumb, because if Iran thinks they won't get it back then they can just destroy it (and the MEU now sitting there) themselves. What do they have to lose in that case? And we could also just seize their oil tankers if we were going to go that far in perfect safety out in the ocean. Without tankers the island can't function either.

Instead Trump's new new new (new {new}) Master Winning™ Plan is:
1. Allow Iranian tankers to just go wherever to sell oil.
2. Eliminate all sanctions on Iran's oil so that it's even easier for them to sell and they make more money.
3. Send vulnerable troops to the most dangerous deepest hardest to support area without naval support so they can be on a tiny desert island where we will then stop the oil shipping of the Iranian ships that we let cruise on by to China.
4. Yeah.

Of course we can. Same as we can just attack Iran because we felt like it. If we want to enforce a blockade and prevent any ships from going by the Hormuz ourselves unless we approve that'd be trivial. Iran can do that from land, US can do it from the sea. We've enforced blockades plenty of times in the past as have lots of other countries. Choosing not to do so in favor of the fucking retarded idea of sending boots to the island to die is absolutely a choice.

That's what I was thinking. Divert the oil money into an "Iran Freedom Fund" which is supposed to help the country transition to democracy (but actually to pay for US contractors like Haliburton). Get OPEC to stop China from giving IRGC a lifeline.

>surviving Marines land at the airport and immediately find themselves under fire from Iranians hiding in the ruins of the urban areas on either side of the runway
How it goes from there depends on how many Iranians survive the bombardment to ambush the actual assault force, which itself is contingent on how many forces are actually on the island. If it's a significant number, like even a couple thousand men, it could be a catastrophe. If it's just a few hundred, they can do serious damage but won't be able to overpower the assault force and will be hunted down. However, even in that scenario, the Iranians will subject the Marines to drone and rocket attacks until they dig themselves tunnels to shelter in, at which point they'll be safe. Nothing can be done to fully guard supply transports however, they and the logistics personnel will always be at risk of being attacked. A captured Kharg could easily become a casualty sink which would incentivize escalating to a mainland landing to push the Iranians farther back, though that in itself would be a clusterfuck of an idea.

The one reason to take and hold it would be to parlay the oil export infrastructure toward ending the conflict-- or them hiding something in plain site which couldn't be B-2'd without chopping the world economy's dick off at the same time per the above.

I wouldn't assume that; POTUS, senior Whitehouse advisors, influential donors, influential foreign influence, the Pentagon and the State department, all have the same agenda here.

By sucking up to Trump and making himself useful to the whitehouse now and then, he can advance his agenda here and there.

It's a pretty legitimate target for a ranger paradrop.

I'm sure they have built some bunkers on the thing in the last several decades. Defending the island from a US assault is an entirely predictable task that the IRGC would have contemplated for years.

Well there is the whole kidnap our embassy staff for four years thing. Then the whole kill 200 Marines in Beruit thing. Then the whole patrol boat thing. Then the whole "arm Iraqis to kill Americans" thing. And of course the Tanker War thing. And all the plots to kill/kidnap American diplomatic staff in the ME thing.

I think the main thing though, is a failure to negotiate. Sitting down with Trumps team and starting negotiations by saying "We wont agree to anything you cant take without military force, we have enough material for 11 nukes so thats our opening position" is a tremendously stupid thing to say.

We sent 2 carriers instead of the 6 and didn’t bring any Australians or Euros like we did in Iraq. How is that not something obvious and a sign they half assed this?

>More importantly, what can be gained from this?
the actual reason was probably control over oil exports and shipping but lmao that aint gonna happen

"regime change" is never altruistic, they want the place to fall so they can install a us-friendly puppet who will implement US-friendly policies, same as venezuela. they didn't kidnap maduro because muh drugs, they kidnapped him so they could denationalize the oil

Oil is an aspect, and part of a larger goal of isolating China from its energy supply. But for Iran its always been about (1) a 40 year long blood feud we have with them and (2) them being insane and threatening regional allies

Iran arms the Houthis with missiles. They used those missiles to close the Red Sea less than a year ago. They are constantly fucking around, they are now finding out.

Can't have fiber optic wire touch water. Same issue we got on SACLOS AT trying to fire over lakes or rivers.

That is because TOW missiles use a metal wire to send electrical impulses. Fiber optic should work in water because the impulses are light.

total American victory but it's prtty obvious they will just take all the smaller islands in the strait and annex them giving the US gibralta like control of gormuz forever

It's about the index of refraction between the fiber and the surrounding medium. Rain is also a problem for FO.

Do muslims still believe missiles are magic and thay they can endlessly spam them into destroying isreal?

This.

Even if the take the island the Iranians will just launch everything they have at it killing marines helplessly on the ground... for what?
>>
>>65001541
This is my read as well. He'll offer to trade them back to Iran for opening the strait, otherwise Trump will hand them over to UAE.

Iran of course won't deal and will pummel whatever islands the US takes, and it will fully whip Iranians up into a nationalist fervour.
>>
>>65007167
>it will fully whip Iranians up into a nationalist fervour.
I mean, good for them ?
There's a point between the US bombing Iran and Iran firing more missiles than they can produce, they'll stop being able more than an minor annoyance.
Them being mad is useless if they cannot act on it.
And if them acting on it gives an excuse to carpet bomb city blocks, there's a moment where they might even ran out of iranians.

Lindsey Graham and other bloodfeasts are demanding it, they aren't bluffing

Saudi Arabia killed more in a shorter time frame

Trump will absolutely send those 10k+ Marines soon.
I'm waiting for some real juicy footage. Twitter will probably be completely turned off though to hide the visually confirmed losses.
>>
>>65007223
>10k+

It's only 1 MEU so far
82nd is supposed to be sending 3k, so that's a brigade

You know that's an Iraqi base since 2011, right ?

Could and should just bomb Iranian oil infrastructure
>>
>>65000824
burger soldiers FPV drone gore, plenty of it.
On the grand scheme of things, I don't know. American strategy towards this war is beyond schizophrenic. Waging war on Iran, then lifting sanctions on Iranian and Russian oil in hope to get the oil flow moving, then trying to negotiate, then bombing energy, then trying to negotiate again, now invading an oil island after lifting sanctions on Iranian oil, then presumably they will withdraw after a good deal of marines get droned doing nothing on an empty island whose loss doesn't effect the Iranian war effort whatsoever.
>>
>>65002101
The whole war was started with delusional third-world tier mentality.
>we're gonna bomb these guys, that'll change their regime, they're on the brink of collapse, TWO MORE WEEKS!
That was Saddam's master plan when he invaded Iran in 1981, that their regime was teetering on collapse and Iraqi troops rolling across the border would tip it over and the people would rise up against their government and welcome the foreign liberators. King Orange is kinda late on the boots on the ground thing.

Reuters and common sense report that Israel forced the US puppets to attack. Neither of them knows what the fuck to do if the rats just dig in and refuse to cede power.

Either they are handing over the uranium or they bribed him.

Why would they bribe when they're winning

Whoever did it probably wants his rivals bombed.

>Iran will probably either stop exporting completely or stop exporting and also blow up the facilities on the island
They can still use the Caspian Sea to offload oil to Russia onwards to other countries. IDF just struck there too though so hard to say if it is a reliable backdoor to get oil out.
