On March 14, 2026, U.S. Trump announced that CENTCOM had carried out a massive bombing raid that "completely obliterated" all military targets on Kharg Island. However, he emphasized that the island's oil infrastructure was deliberately left untouched. The strike targeted solely military installations, such as missile storage facilities and sites housing Iranian mines.
 
It's a good start. Coupled with the 5,000 US troops on the way, I think the IRGC should be out of action in another 2 to 3 weeks or so. However, Trump is paying a heavy price for this war and it's also good that he'll lose his Congress come November 2026.

You may need a few hundred thousand troops to invade iran unless mossad already has moles in iran top hierarchy.
Iran is bigger than Ukraine. And it is not flat like Ukraine. Terrain more like afghanistan.
 
Can't imagine how a 5,000 soldiers with advanced weapons take on 700,000 soldiers though the weapons are inferior to the intruder

All the more that the US will suffer heavy casualties. Trump is surely going to lose in November 2026.

I think they are there to spot missile silos the planes failed to destroy or wasted attacking decoys.

Hey jihadist, when are you leaving for Iran?
 
Trumpet targeted the military installation, missile site, and army defense position, while deliberately sparing the oil refinery hub.
 
Everything is just an event leading to WEF 2030.
Some of the stuffs will no longer be sustainable and sheeple need to change for the Jews
 
The marines wanna take over kharg island.

Yesterday President Trump also ordered the bombing of Kharg Island (picture below). Mr Trump has said that military targets on Kharg Island were completely destroyed but the oil facilities were untouched.

Kharg Island is a small, approximately 20-square-kilometre (roughly 8-square-mile) island in the northern Persian Gulf, located about 30 kilometers (19 miles) off the Iranian coast. It measures roughly 8 km in length and 3-4 km in width, serving as Iran's primary crude oil export terminal and handling 90% of its exports.


It has also been reported that the US is sending 5,000 Marines to the Persian Gulf.

The 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (31st MEU) which is based in Japan under the United States Indo-Pacific Command has now been ordered to move toward the Middle East. The 31st MEU includes several ships and about 5,000 Marines. Officials said the assault ship USS Tripoli (LHA-7) and its Marines are already heading to the Middle East.

Officials say that the MEU provides a wide range of military capabilities that commanders can use if required, not just ground combat. The unit includes advanced aircraft such as a squadron of F-35 Lightning II fighter jets and a squadron of Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey aircraft.

There are suggestions that this Marine Expeditionary unit will be a holding force on Kharg Island AFTER the oil terminal is taken by US Special Forces - most likely the Navy Seals and Marines (since this operation comes under the US Navy).

There are approximately 2,900 active-duty Navy SEALs, with roughly 200 more in the reserves, for a total of over 3,100 personnel. They are organized into ten operational teams, typically with each team comprising eight 16-man platoons. They operate under the Naval Special Warfare Command.

Here is Kharg Island wrt the Persian Gulf area:



The Americans built Kharg Island in the 1950s. They chose this island so that in the event of war if they captured this island then the entire Iranian oil output will come under their control.

I think this is exactly what will happen soon. Once the Iranian regime loses 90% of their oil revenues, they cannot function anymore.

Once the regime's military is fully neutralised holding the island will not be too risky.
Also no one especially the Iranian regime wants to destroy the island's oil facilities because it will take years to restore the oil facilities (and 90% of Iran's oil revenue).

p.s. Yesterday the Chinese have also distanced themselves from the ayatollahs for their indiscriminate attacks against oil tankers and against 12 other countries throughout the region. This is a significant break from China's previously friendly relations with the ayatollahs. Lets see.
