Advice to Israel, America, and Gulf countries.

Iran possesses an offensive missile system that America does not have; there are highly advanced missiles that have not been used to this day. Iran has a stockpile of missiles that could destroy the entire Middle East region, not just Israel.
We call on America and Israel to immediately stop the war and declare the failure of the military operation against Iran; otherwise, the losses and damages will be shocking.

Reports Saudi Arabia and UAE originally did not want this war to start, and now that Iran has attacked UAE and Saudi Arabia they want the Regime finished off..



Once seeking de-escalation, Saudi Arabia now sees ‘no coexistence’ with hardline Iran

Nadia Massih is pleased to welcome Natasha Lindstaedt, Author, Professor of Government at the University of Essex. The unfolding conflict reveals a profound shift in Gulf strategic thinking, Professor Lindstaedt argues, driven less by ideological ambition than by accumulated insecurity. What began as a strong preference for de-escalation has gradually given way to a more hard-edged assessment of regional realities. The persistence of attacks, particularly on critical infrastructure, has reinforced the perception that coexistence with a hardline Iranian regime may no longer be viable.

I have seen reports that the UAE and Saudi Arabia want the regime in Iran finished off. I agree with them. The people that have been running Iran are Islamic hard liners. Anyone who speaks up against them is shot. I have seen anywhere from 7000 to 30000 killed so far.

Not sure where the report comes from but if we are simply watching them do this then someone needs to be fired. All traffic into Kharge should be destroyed. Where's the A-10s when you need them?

I do not think that President Trump has an issue with oil flowing out of Iran going to other countries. He has many problems with Iran. with one being that Iran is now trying to control the shipping on the Persian Gulf.

I wasn't referring to oil tankers. I was referring to likely military personnel and their equipment as in from the mainland to the island.

Maybe "Seizing Hormuz Island" in @mat200 's post below is the plan... that would explain not sweating traffic into Kharge?

What is the target for the US boots ?

Seizing Kharg or Hormuz Island ??

Either one can be subject to Iranian Drone attack ..




Marines vs Iran : What a Real Conflict Would Actually Look Like
Ryan McBeth

AI Summary :
This video analyzes what a potential military conflict between US Marines and Iran would look like, specifically focusing on the capabilities of a Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) and the logistics of securing specific locations in the Persian Gulf (0:00-0:32).

What is a MEU? (0:32-4:44)
Ryan explains that a MEU is not just a combat force, but a versatile "fist" combining four essential elements:

Command Element: Provides command, control, intelligence, and electronic warfare (1:37).
Ground Combat Element: An infantry battalion augmented with artillery, amphibious vehicles, combat engineers, and anti-armor capabilities (1:50).
Aviation Combat Element: Utilizes MV-22 Ospreys for troop transport, F-35B Lightning IIs for air superiority and ground attack, and AH-1Z Vipers for close air support (2:16).
Logistics Combat Element: Handles supply, maintenance, transportation, and medical services (2:45).
The video highlights that when reports say "5,000 Marines," it actually translates to roughly 1,200 combat trigger-pullers supported by a much larger logistical and aviation force (3:09).

Mission Scenarios (4:49-10:50)
Ryan breaks down possible scenarios for the USS Tripoli and its Amphibious Ready Group:

Lebanon Support: Unlikely, as other forces are closer (4:53).
Securing the Strait of Hormuz Coastline: Dangerous and impractical for a small force (5:30).
Taking Kharg Island: This would shut down 90% of Iran's oil exports (6:16). However, this creates a major humanitarian issue, forcing the US to manage the island's population while under drone attack (7:11).
Seizing Hormuz Island: Ryan suggests this as a more likely scenario. Based on a historical Portuguese strategy, controlling this island could allow the US to control the Strait of Hormuz, establish a forward base, and potentially train Iranian rebels to push towards Bandar Abbas (8:45).
