rank | Sat Mar 14 02:45:05 "Just imagine a million Iranians storming our positions without any air cover. Goodness, what a massacre that would be—I almost feel sorry for them!" Just imagine US Marines trying to secure an Iranian island with Iran raining hundreds of short range missiles and drones on their heads. It's simply not happening. The first clue that it's not happening is the US Navy keeping its ships out of the strait. If our ships aren't safe 15 miles off Iran's coast, then our Marines sure as hell wouldn't be safe on their coast. - |

The planes, which were hit during an Iranian missile strike on the Saudi base in recent days, were damaged but not fully destroyed and are being repaired, the Journal said, adding that no one was killed in the strikes. Reuters could not immediately verify the report. https://ww...arabia-wsj-reports-2026-03-13/ |

That's why you see them only aiming at bases, oil refineries, Dubai's skyscrapers, etc. there might be a moment of minor danger as they entrench, while they are more static but before the fortifications are complete. The real danger to the Marines are on the way in. Once they hold kharg island it's over. Hell that island isn't much further from our major logistics bases than it is from irans. An f16 can get there in 5 minutes, and a reaper can loiter for a day with a combat load. But ya there won't be a landing until the nearby coast is well suppressed. Can't have the big ships getting hit or mined. Besides this is the backup plan. If we can't effect regime change in the next few months, seize the key oil island. Could also be bait. If Iran moves up arty to try shell the islands from land, well then we know where it is, that's it's not a decoy, and buttfuck it. Easy way to get Iranian heavies on the move. Out and exposed. |

rank | Sat Mar 14 05:36:33 I meant the sort of kamikaze drones that can hit Marines. Those need positive control. Which Iran won't have offshore. |
