Trump might be considering sending Marines to take Kharg Island.

Expect tanks and pipelines to contain over 31 million barrels of oil

Igniting this will create a toxic, hellish landscape with thick black smoke that disrupts night-vision equipment, GPS, and breathing.

Modern firefighting equipment cannot operate under such a fire. Marines would face suffocating fumes and the risk of massive secondary explosions.

As they try to survive the inferno, all positions on the island will have been precisely registered by artillery guns.

In August 1958, Chinese forces on the mainland hit Kinmen island with 57,533 artillery rounds from 340 guns in two hours. As Marines try to survive the Kharg Island inferno, how many artillery rounds will hit the island?

And how many hundreds of drones, many using fiber optic to avoid jamming, how many drones will be launched toward Marines?

Iran will release preprogrammed drones from hardened positions. These drones will fly fatal missions to Kharg Island.

Like Iwo Jima, Kharg Island is honeycombed with hardened positions and manned by suicidal troops. Kharg Island will become their kill box.

What military objectives might any surviving Marines be able to accomplish?
