What next on Kharg? This is very much a gun-to-the-head moment, but not in an "open the strait or else" way. It's a guarantee of MAD—mutually assured destruction. If Iran disables the other Gulf states' infrastructure to produce and transport oil, Iran will suffer the same fate. So why take out all of the regime's military targets on Kharg Island now? Three reasons: practicality, disable the dead man's switch, and lastly starve the regime. 1/7

According to a post from U.S. President Donald J. Trump on his Truth Social app, at his direction, U.S. Central Command “obliterated every MILITARY target in Iran’s crown jewel, Kharg Island.” Extremely notably, President Trump said that he has chosen not to target the vast oil infrastructure on Iran’s economically important island and should Iran continue to interfere with the safe passage of vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, the island’s oil infrastructure will be targeted.

@Mkellytx2 @Osinttechnical Short answer, the low airframe damage/loss due to direct enemy fire in this big campaign is negligible. Operation: ALLIED FORCE 99 similar.

Four officials tell Newsmax the Boxer Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) and the embarked 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit (11th MEU) is deploying ahead of schedule from the West Coast and is expected to sail direct through the Indo-Pacific to the Middle East, after the U.S. Navy was ordered by the Pentagon to surge additional fire power to the U.S. Central Command Area-of-Responsibility near Iran.

The Boxer Amphibious Ready Group (ARG), comprised of the USS Boxer (LHD-4), USS Comstock (LSD-45), and the USS Portland (LPD-27) with the embarked 11th Marine Expeditionary Group (MEU), is on its way to the Middle East after departing the U.S. west coast for deployment.

Oh hell yes! General Caine’s briefing call out was heavy bombers! The maintainers, aircrew and other support personnel. Better yet, the B-1 pictures were my old Bat tails. If you’re a bomber fan share your stories and RT.

@TheOtherSean22 @Osint613 Indeed, our first punitive expedition against muslims enslaving US sailors. In other news the Boxer is deploying early with the 11th MEU. There’s also an MEB worth of equipment at Diego Garcia.

President Trump, speaking about Kharg Island, which handles over 90% of Iran’s oil exports, said: “We can take over the island anytime we want. I call it the little island just sitting there. It is completely unprotected. We destroyed everything except the pipelines. We left the pipelines because rebuilding them would take years.”

@vtchakarova @TimMcGrathMtg Absolutely every op plan for Iran in the Pentagon has strait closure in it. As @johnkonrad mentions what was on nobodies bingo card was the P&I houses pulling insurance. Which again the administration managed to again turn into another leverage situation.

@TimMcGrathMtg Two simultenous realities are possible - what you describe is part of the plan why the US started the war; what I describe is the law of unanticipated consequences due to the closure of Hormuz which the Trump administration did not factor in.

@GBNT1952 To be fair to get down there you have to go through security. Any Arabs who visit will be Christian’s. The IDF wouldn’t let them in, the 7th century barbarians that is. Now the shrine on top of the mount is a different story.

Lord help me… it’s no IQ bots and NPCs all day long out here. Let me use the plainest English possible so that you aren’t confused, Brandon. Leaders from around the world visit the Western Wall in Jerusalem out of respect to one of the most spiritually and historically significant places on this earth of ours. It is very symbolically important in Christianity for numerous reasons. You realize that right? Actual Christians know this. Guess who doesn’t visit the wall? Our enemies. Twisting these visits into moronic claims of subservience isn’t just a massive stretch, it’s an actual collapse of basic reasoning skills. The epic levels of stupid required to think this way makes me concerned that these people may need assisted living centers. It’s mind boggling to me…
Brandon Lodge@bw_lodge

@GBNT1952 @HuajatollaChic1 Lotta words to announce you’re a retard. Only the dumbest of dipshits cannot see what is plainly obvious — the syn*gogue of s*tan (Israel) owns the US. The cognitive dissonance required to believe otherwise has to be off the charts.

@lockhidmartinez @aviationbrk That's not the way things looked on Litening and Sniper. The only explanation is that it colors anything not background one color, which explains the Super bug having two dark spots where the inlets are.

@Mkellytx2 @aviationbrk Lost me at the "plume would be a different temp". See these pictures, its not. Ik it should be, logic says so, 1000 degree exhaust should be a different color. But maybe because of optical phenomena beyond my understanding they appear the same color when seen from far away.

@Mkellytx2 @GuntherEagleman Exactly. At the same time, A-10 "Warthogs" and "Apache" helicopters are being sent in to hunt down the rats as they scurry. Mean while Bessant is tracking the money they are attempting to "wire out" from the country as they begin to flee.

HOLY CRAP Scott Bessent just confirmed that the Treasury is currently tracking money that the defecting leadership in Iran is trying to transfer out of the country. "At the Treasury, we have seen where they have wired their money out of the country and are coming for that. We will get it back to the Iranian people."

Benjamin Netanyahu: "What do we see? What happens if the, are there any signs that the Iranian regime is cracking?" "A lot of signs. A lot of signs. I wish I could divulge all of them, but I see that." "But will I tell you, will I commit right now that it's gonna collapse? I could tell you that we're working to create the conditions for it to collapse, but it may survive. It may not."

@unseen1_unseen If you run this like a punitive expedition you don't need a whole lot. Doesn't take much to hold Kharg and an MEB to take the strait.

@Osint613 When the endgame comes there’s an Airborne Brigade 5 hours away by C-17s that’s ready, willing, and able to turn the spigot off to China’s cheap oil. Op likely to run parallel with seizing the strait. Tripoli passed through the Straits of Malacca yesterday, so it’s 7 days out.

Iranians are flooding social media with F-35 memes.... this one shows a Sayyad missile chasing down an F-35 with the caption “You’re finished!” it’s classic wartime humor... unverified claims of downing an F-35 turned into cartoons and jokes overnight. Shows how quickly people flip tension into satire.
