U.S. Politics

Not sure if the “blockade” description is reverse psychology or if it means blockading the coastline of Iran so there’s no chance of the fanatic death cult version Islamic regime  ( the false one) being able to mine the waters.

Maybe the new mission should be renamed “SafeGuard” the strait to allow all merchants ships safe passage with aid of US Navy escort ships. This could be a joint venture  with Russia, China, France , Britain and the oil from that special island can be distributed by US at bargain prices once the island is occupied and under control of the US Marines.

The only problem with that is once we seize Kharg Island, the Iranians would stop pumping their oil to it. It would have only a short term effect on the supply of oil.

I don't think destroying Kharg Island would useful either.  3/4 of the oil that passes through the Strait of Hormuz is Iranian oil, so destroying that island would have almost the same long term effect on world oil supply as the current closing of the strait. The solution is to open the strait so everyone's oil can get through.
