Next full moon is Wednesday. I wouldn’t be surprised to see some kind of ground operation then.

Also, why with all these attacks we don’t care about the stock market? It’s like we failed our maximum pressure approach because we cared about the stock market.

I am extremely anti this war, but even I have to admit a successful ground invasion of Bandar Abbas would be really fricking cool.

IDK.... but in my thinking, if we invaded one of their islands it would have two immediate effects...

1) Much of the missiles and drones Iran is lobbing at its neighbors would be redirected to the "invading" force..

2) Many of the IRGC would come out of hiding making them easier targets

Or course every bit of that is speculative....

(edited for grammar.. lol)

Yea I mean how would we even get our people in there in sufficient numbers to hold any area of significance? Seems damn near impossible, which is why if they were able to somehow do it, it would be incredible.

For the record I don’t think we’d be the only invading ground force.

Not likely.
Gulf state militaries are there to keep the imported labor in check.

it certainly won't be IDF troops involved.

It wouldn’t take much to take a few islands in the strait. Obviously I think they’d mostly be in a support role.

Regarding Delcy and Venezuela. I admit I was surprised when Trump pivoted from Machado (who will be president in the next election) to Delcy.

Turns out the CIA gave Trump a set of documents that told him EVERYTHING about Venezuela's relationship with China, Cuba, the drug cartels (now you know why we knew where the drug boats were leaving from and how to target), how to get Machado out, and even the diagrams of Maduro's compound, guard stations, and even the fact his bedroom door was reinforced. Only one person could know that and they must have had ball (or tatas) of steel....and it was Delcy. So she was perfect for the transition because she knew who she could trust and who was a Maduro loyalist.

The closest person Iran has is President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the IRGC captured him.

We shall see if someone else pops up.

Sounds like we have severely curtailed their ability to move cargo out of the areas around the ports, and nothing arriving due to blockade. Half their imports come through that area, gonna get real real difficult to keep the natives in check.

I guess you’re talking about green-on-blue incidents in the Iraq and Afghan wars? If so that won’t even be a consideration by the pentagon and white house when in comes to whether or not to ask or allow gulf state militaries to participate in any ground action against Iran.

At this point humiliate the IRGC, give the oil and the island to the other gulf countries till Iran rises up to remove all the IRGC.

Iran is just legit slinging missiles all over the region. Wild. What’s even more wild is Israel’s non involvement both ways.


Israel won’t stop unlike Trump if they get involved again

BREAKING: Iran officially and formally exits the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding with the United States, with Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Gharibabadi saying, effective immediately, Iran is suspending all commitments and will not implement any of them after the US “violated and suspended all of its commitments” first, and is now purely focused on defending the country, per Tasnim.

Gharibabadi says Iran will “never start negotiations with the US under any circumstances.”
