Kharg is a very strategic choke point for the regime and their oil exports. I was wondering when Trump was going to make a move on it. It really was not that well defended considering its importance.
He also destroyed Kharg Islands Military Defenses. Meanwhile reportedly 2500 Marines aboard U.S.S Tripoli are in route to the Area of Operations.
Not enough to seriously make a contested landing on mainland Iran. But more than enough to take and fortify outlying Islands. Including Kharg.
While we don’t know the exact plans. I’d imagine that the arrival of the Marines is meant to insinuate that possibility as option. Even if that isn’t officially the reason they’re being sent there.
The Tripoli being deployed is the 2nd of the brand new America class of Amphibious Assault Ships. Fresh off the assembly line in 2018. Completed the last of her trials and formally entered service 2020.
Your Tripoli was part of the Iwo-Jima class of Amphibious Assault Ship. She was scrapped in Texas around 2018 I’m sorry to say.
The thing about what is happening in Iran is that it is completely obvious now that if Iran had been allowed to continue what they had been doing, they WOULD have developed nuclear weapons and the WOULD have used them, and with missile technology, wouldn't have hesitated to launch one or more at U.S. mainland. What is happening in Iran now should have happened decades ago, but perhaps the most recent military weaponry makes it safer for U.S. and Israeli forces. The 100,000 or so Iran military members may be a problem to deal with down the road, and of course, the unknown millions of civilians who sympathize with the hardline Muslim rule.
Some of us are old enough to remember the same exact playbook being used now from Iraq. Infinite "trust me bro" being used to justify just about everything. Why is it that we never get to see even a snippet of evidence they use to justify all of this?
Well, they definitely were developing nuclear weapons. Those sites were bombed, but the question remained regarding whether they were completely demolished. Even so, they would have eventually resumed their nuclear program. Would it have been possible within a few years? Probably not. Possible in another ten? Probably likely.

Trump is squeezing the Islamic Regime like a nasty zit. Gotta get the infection out.
And dab it with alcohol
There will be a whole new market for alcohol once the regime is gone. kek
The gentleman's agreement.
Has thoroughly been shredded at this point.

How appropriate that's it's the U.S.S. Tripoli joining this Operation. 🫡

I wonder if there are any children on that island ?
Wait a minute! Last I heard the U.S.S Tripoli was on mothballs in Hawaii.
The U.S.S. Tripoli was my home away from home for 3 years. 1983 to 1986.
Different Tripoli.

Mine was the LPH-10. What's the new one called?
LHA-7
I feel extremely old right now. The boat I was stationed on has been scrapped. Maybe it's time for me to be scrapped too.
Fuck Around Find Out thank you for your attention to this matter

After Covid, im never trusting anything they say.
