Iran gearing up to slaughter US Marines in Normandy style battle at Kharg Island
Poast new message in this thread
Date: March 25th, 2026 6:37 PM Author: Forced Bi Cuckold of Hormuz (CNN) — Iran has been laying traps and moving additional military personnel and air defenses to Kharg Island in recent weeks in preparation for a possible US operation to take control of the island, according to multiple people familiar with US intelligence reporting on the issue.

Date: March 25th, 2026 7:20 PM Author: gibberish (?) What's the point of taking the island? What does it accomplish? It's not like the US gets all 90% of the Iranian oil if they take it. The oil still has to be piped over from the mainland. If the US wanted to end Iranian oil they could do it at any time without firing a single shot or destroying Iranian infrastructure. The US would only have to announce an embargo and any ship in violation will be confiscated. So there are much easier and less costly means of removing oil revenue from Iran. The US has chosen not to do this.
Similarly, the focus on the straight is also more symbolic. Over half of the ships Iran attacked were miles away from the straight in the red sea. Iran doesn't need to control the straight to disrupt oil shipping. They can easily hit ships at sea from much further away. It would only take a couple for shipping lines to halt movement. The US could also announce that they are closing the straight - again, embargo and confiscate any ship that makes passage.
This is all theater. |

Date: March 25th, 2026 7:40 PM Author: Forced Bi Cuckold of Hormuz Some posters think its to secure a bargaining chip to force Iran into a surrender. I don’t know if that’s the goal but I’m interested to see how they plan to land marines there without getting a bunch them killed in transit. This island is tucked way up in the armpit of the gulf and you have to traverse Hormuz to get there by boat. V-22s are a possibility but they only carry 24 Marines so they’d have to make several trips and would be vulnerable to anti aircraft fire.

Date: March 25th, 2026 8:44 PM Author: Forced Bi Cuckold of Hormuz I’m not defending this as a good strategy but losing Kharg island would be a huge fucking deal for Iran. They export 90% of their oil from there because Iran’s coast is too shallow to port large tankers. So they pump all the oil through underwater pipes 20 miles out to the island which has natural deep water ports that can handle large tankers. It’s also topographically downhill from the mainland so they don’t even have to use pumps since gravity does most of the work. If the US takes control of it, Iran’s entire economy would crumble within months. That alone won’t reopen Hormuz (the only way it reopens is if Iran agrees to stop shooting at ships) but it may give the US leverage to get Iran to agree to stop threatening to shoot at ships.

Date: March 26th, 2026 11:15 AM Author: gibberish (?) You don't even have to disable it. They have to put the oil in a ship and the ship has to pass out of the red sea. You would only have to interdict one boat and nobody will fill up at that island again. I hope they don't bomb and of the oil infrastructure.
