He is stupid enough to do it, it would be a difficult task as Iran is a huge area and would require long supply lines to get ammunition and fuel as well as food to the troops who would have to go deep into Iran to get at their nuclear sites, would require more than 5000 troops. Let us hope he doesnt expect us to join his suicide mission.

All to do with the strait of Hormuz imo

Plus afaik the Iranians have large oil facilities on some off shore island

Suicide mission is a tadge OTT

And no why would they even want UK assistance / troops

The British army was severely damaged embarrassed in the Iraq caper and basically ignored after a while ( politicians fault ) if I recall the US had to send troops to the UKs region in Iraq to take over
 
All of my predictions on this so far have been correct. There is no sign of any uprising of the Iranian people. The war is expanding, there is no plan for this war, this is Trump going in like a wrecking ball. There is no evidence of a nuclear weapons program, no regime change other than another nutter will take the shoes of his dead father, you can kill a few heads of the original regime for it to be replaced with what could turn out even worse. Foreign boots on the ground, It won't go down well and is heading for disaster. We havent even got two ships to send out so we couldnt do anything, it puts us into a vunerable position regards Russia seeing how weak we are, the USA and the IDF have got the military muscle but the Iranian regime will live on and fght against this, the Gulf states might well support the USA against Iran but the Arabs should finish this themselves as they wont want this to go on for a prolonged period, financially it will be a disaster. Israel is fighting about 7 wars at the moment. I would question what is Trump hoping to get out of this and what is now the objectiive. Everyone thinking this is nearly over well it has only just started and there will be years of clean up work to do after this, the world has gone insane.

I hope you don't mind me asking but, are you p155ed?, because that's the biggest load of billux I've heard in a long time.

Charge it.

Of course I am. I think Trump has made a grave mistake with this. It is costing the USA 1 billion dollars a day to fund this war. I don't see the American people supporting any more wars in the middle East.
Charge it !!!!
 
Losing control of Kharg island won't do anything to stop Iran denying the straights to everyone. The only thing it can do is make the oil crisis worse.

The minesweepers belatedly despatched will help a lot to make the straights safer, but there aren't any naval solutions to cheap drones being used to attack civilian shipping.

Ironically, trump will have to go cap in hand to ask Ukraine, nicely, about drone warfare. They're the best in the business.

Already done, Trump has denied it but Ukrainian advisors are already helping the US and various gulf nations.

Indeed.
He'd better make up his mind soon on whether or not the job is done, nearly done or about to be almost sorted out before those Marines hit the beachhead.

The challenge he has is declaring a win and Iran continuing to deny the straights makes him look (more) ridiculous.

Apparently he was briefed on the risk but decided Iran would fold before it became an issue.

Im not sure where Trump wants to drop his Marines. There isn't enough to invade Iran itself, just enough for raiding or occupying a site or two like Kharg island, presumably because he thinks it'll be enough extra leverage to get Iran to surrender for some reason.
