Seems like those islands would be a prime target for any U.S. Marine Corps operations- UAE already claims sovereignty over them, they have airports, are very strategically located and outside of artillery range from Iran.
These islands will be much easier for the US to take than Kharg Island and much less likely to elicit an attack on the Qatar LNG. If we have control over them, we can set up bases to make it much harder for Ukraine (edit: Iran) to assert control over the Strait. |

rofl no matter which island u take there's really no way for iran to fire a missile at it, right birdshits? no way for them to lay traps and ambushes, right birdshits?
and how do u even get the marines there? u cant send ships thru the persian gulf so by air? well u have to supply them, just 3k troops require some ridiculous amount like 20 tons of supplies a day
its just embarassing how stupid amerishits are, it really is |

Date: March 21st, 2026 9:20 AM Author: plum diverse personal credit line orchestra pit This ain't Guadalcanal, dummy. Look at the map- Abu Musa is 25 miles away from the nation - UAE - which claims it as its sovereign territory. Kharg Island might, in fact, have some difficult resupply issues since it's deep into the Persian Gulf. That's a big reason I'm predicting we will go for this low-hanging fruit.

It's a burden being right so often, but I'm prepared to shoulder it. |

Date: March 23rd, 2026 4:16 PM Author: Talking Tanning Salon Sandwich this defense analyst firm estimates taking Kharg Island would result in 200-500 US casualties:
“Risk modeling employs a Poisson process for attack frequency: λ = 15 major incidents per month (based on Iran’s documented drone/missile capacity and proxy networks). Probability of at least one U.S. base strike in the first 30 days is 1−e−λ ≈ 99.99%. Casualty modeling (binomial distribution, n = 50 potential strikes, success probability per strike 0.20 from defensive intercepts) yields expected U.S./allied deaths of 200–500 in month one, scaling with escalation intensity.”

But every tanker in the Gulf will have to pass between islands that we control, so that gives us a lot of leverage of our own. Right now our carriers are hundreds of miles away out of fear of Chinese anti-ship missiles. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5848168&forum_id=2#49765868) |

Likely UAE. If they mean Kuwait, we probably are after Kharg. |

Date: March 26th, 2026 9:49 AM Author: Forced Bi Cuckold of Hormuz Doesn’t make sense. If the US just wanted to disrupt Iran’s use of the island they could just threaten to shoot at any tankers that dock there. If the US wants to operate the island itself, Iran could just stop pumping oil to the island from the mainland. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5848168&forum_id=2#49770138) |

Date: March 26th, 2026 10:05 AM Author: German pumo Yeah, taking Kharg Island makes no sense, and I suspect it's only Trump's instinctive desire to "take the oil" that makes it a subject of discussion. As you stated, there's only oil there if Iran sends it to the island. Another weakness of taking Kharg is that Iran already went through a two year period several years ago where sanctions were so effective that they exported almost no oil. Yet the regime didn't collapse. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5848168&forum_id=2#49770169) |

Date: March 26th, 2026 11:00 AM Author: gibberish (?) I think the island talk and the troop deployments are flame. Even the focus on the straight is theater. I heard a naval Intel guy on a podcast mentioning that most of the boats hit (at least initially) were actually struck well into the red sea. Instead of any military action, this guy said you place a US embargo on any vessel visiting Iran. The US can enforce this anywhere on the ocean. He also thought the marine deployments were likely a contingency against possible strikes by rebel factions within currently friendly nations in the region. But who knows.
