No secret he's going to run in 2028. This is also an indicator of the direction this whole thing is going.

Yup, Monday will be a lovely day.The Kharg Island taskforce. And markets are closed on the weekends. Enough to not have panicked oil market reactions till Monday.
Good Lord save us please. In a country of 350 million people.....this is the best?No secret he's going to run in 2028. This is also an indicator of the direction this whole thing is going.

Fckin spare me.
"No quarter" during military conflict, as far as I understand, implies that combatants would not be taken prisoner, but executed.

Could be worse: Don Jr or Eric could be candidates!
Wasn’t it just days ago the U.S. got cranky and told Israel to rein in attacks on Iran’s oil infrastructure due to the macroeconomic impacts? Now he’s threatening to wipe out the civilian oil infrastructure on Kharg Island? Make this make sense for me please.

I would assume most people agree this is illegal?
You would be correct.
I think they believe they'll have leverage over the regime if they get the Island.
The problem, however, is that they risk creating an economic crisis as oil prices moon. And if I'm Iran, I lean into this hard by going after everything in the Strait and going after the Saudi oilfields and Qatar's gas fields. The smart play for the regime is to escalate hard and make the oil shock as painful as they can.
But I guess it's the only play the Administration has left. There is no real way to force the regime to stop the denial operation at the Strait. Good luck to the USN and USMC I guess. Iranians decide to mine or destroy the the Kharg island oil installations…?
U.S. troops on the island could be fairly exposed.Take out the electrical substations and that will make sabotage a bit harder. Once they secured the Island, perhaps hand it over to a coalition of Gulf State troops to hold, freeing up US forces for potentiel landing at Qeshm Island.
