what would occupying kharg island do for the US

AI Overview

?

Occupying Kharg Island would choke off 90 percent of Iran's crude oil exports and severely damage the Iranian regime's economy, but it would also expose U.S. troops to extreme military dangers. [1, 2, 3]

Potential Benefits for the U.S.

Cripple Iran's Finances: Kharg Island handles nearly all of Iran's crude oil. Cutting off this hub starves the Iranian government and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of vital revenue. [1, 2]

Gain Major Leverage: Controlling the oil terminal gives the U.S. a powerful bargaining chip to force Iran into peace negotiations or trade deals. [1, 2]

Establish a Forward Base: The island features a small runway and space to act as a tactical staging ground for military operations near the mainland. [1, 2]

End this confilct

So the USSR isn’t a WWII victor since they got kicked out of many countries in 1991?

I never said we weren’t a victor. I asked you why we remained for years if we had everything we want in 6 weeks? It shouldn’t be a difficult question.

Bet you’re a big “protect Ukraine at all costs” type of guy though. Besides, of course, volunteering yourself.

But Iran had control of Kharg and The Strait.

I’m so confused. Were The Communists on the board wrong, again?

It’s a retarded war and was supposed to be over in a month. We went from regime change and eliminating nukes to scrambling over the Strait.

Their money is cut off.

They cant get anything in or out.

They continue this piecemeal nonsense so we blow up tankers and Kharg.

There is no reason to take that island, they cant do anything anymore anyway.

Let it bake fellas, let it bake.

It's very embarrassing. Almost as embarrassing as pretending to be a Florida resident for years.

You’re just making excuses from complete incompetence by us. It’s embarrassing we’re still in this conflict at this point. Iran ain’t shite. This administration has been a complete embarrassment from a military standpoint.

What are the goals of this Iranian War then? Everything we wanted to accomplish in Iraq, we accomplished in 6 weeks. A competent leader would have wrapped this shite up by now. Now we’re in another endless Middle Eastern War. I guess you support these globalist, endless Middle Eastern Wars…
